Match Preview
In this upcoming friendly clash, Estudiantes Mérida will host Rayo Zuliano at the Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano de Mérida on January 15. Estudiantes are entering the match with a solid recent record, having won three of their last five games, while Rayo Zuliano has struggled significantly, managing just one draw and four losses in their last five outings. This stark contrast in form suggests that Estudiantes will be the favourites to secure a victory.
One interesting angle to consider is the historical head-to-head record, which heavily favours Estudiantes. In their last ten encounters, they have won all but one, with Rayo Zuliano failing to find the net on multiple occasions. Given Estudiantes' current momentum and Rayo's defensive frailties, a bet on Estudiantes to win could be a prudent choice. Additionally, with the odds for over 2.5 goals at 1.95, it may be worth exploring whether Estudiantes can exploit Rayo's vulnerabilities and produce a high-scoring affair.
