Team News

Rayo Vallecano
Celta Vigo
  • Borja Lopez is slowing returning to fitness following his cruciate ligament injury. He has been back in training this past week.
  • Emiliano Insua is out for four weeks with hamstring injury.
  • Micheal Krohn-Dehli suffered from stomach pains this week, but is expected to fully recover in time.
  • Carles Planas returned to training this week, but is not yet fully fit.
  • Sergi Gomez has received the all-clear from the team medics and is set to start.

Prediction

  • In the last 12 meetings between these two, it is the home side who clearly hold the advantage only losing twice to the Galicians. More recently, Rayo have won seven consecutive games in La Liga against Celta and have not conceded a goal in the last three.
  • Still, on current form it is Celta who will be the more confident as Rayo's form has been woeful, while the visitors remain in seventh place and are well and truly fighting for a European place.
  • Rayo's Alberto Bueno relishes playing against Celta with three goals in his last four outings. He will be one to watch for the Galicians, while the home side will have to be weary of Nolito, who recently earned his first call-up to the Spanish national team.
