Team News

Celta Vigo
Rayo Vallecano
  • Sergio Alvarez has returned from a ban and should replace the injured Ruben Blanco in goal.
  • Gustavo Cabral has a slight knee problem, with Sergi Gomez potentially replacing the Argentine defender.
  • Aside from that, Eduardo Berizzo is expected to keep things the same in his side's first home game.
  • Manucho should lead the line once again despite picking up a knock in the week.
  • Former Deportivo midfielder Luis Farina may get his debut after joining on loan from Benfica.
  • Paco Jemez will look to take positives from Rayo's opening day stalemate with Valencia.

Prediction

  • Throughout pre-season and La Liga's opening matchday, Rayo have failed to score more than one goal per game.
  • Iago Aspas scored the winning goal for Celta on his return to the club, with his 77th minute strike enough to earn three points for La Celeste last weekend.
  • As perhaps was unexpected, Rayo managed to open up the season with a clean sheet, but the hosts picked up a 2-1 victory over Levante.
