Prediction

  • Rayo are starting to slide down the table following their brilliant start to the campaign. After seeing their unbeaten home record come tumbling down against Athletic Club, Iraola's men made it two defeats from two with a poor performance against Celta Vigo last time out, losing 2-0.
  • Rayo were also in Copa del Rey action during the week, facing Real Betis in their first Copa semi-final for more than 40 years, and they came off second best, losing 2-1 despite an Alvaro Garcia strike.
  • Osasuna, meanwhile, managed to claim a big point last time out, drawing 0-0 with title hopefuls Sevilla, and that was an important point to build on an impressive win when they saw off Granada with a 2-0 win thanks to goals from David and Kike Garcia.
  • Despite their differing starts to the season, just four points separate these two sides at present, with Rayo in ninth and Osasuna in 12th.
  • Osasuna are not likely to make this easy, but Rayo are likely to come out on top at home, even with their recent struggles.
