Team News

Rayo Vallecano
Villarreal
  • Jose Pozo will be available for selection since recovering from injury.
  • Summer signing Jorge De Frutos could be in contention for a starting spot, having scored from the bench last week.
  • Alfonso Pedraza will miss out through suspension.
  • Cuenca, Coquelin, and Terrats have not travelled for the Europa League fixture against Panathinaikos and will be assessed ahead of the weekend.

Prediction

  • Villarreal have a thinner than usual squad this week and will play tonight in Greece in their first Europa League match of the season - some fatigue could be at play come this weekend.
  • Rayo Vallecano won their first match at home last week, beating Alaves 2-0, and will be determined to carry over that good form to Sunday.
  • Both sides have a similar expected goals against ratio, suggesting both will score in this one.
  • Rayo could take all three points in this too tight to call match up, due to the fatigue of the visitors.
