Team News

Villarreal
Rayo Vallecano
  • Roberto Soldado and Jaume Costa come back into the frame, after serving respective suspensions.
  • Mario Gaspar is sidelined due to injury, meaning that Antonio Rukavina may be rushed back to start at right-back.
  • Denis Suarez should get a start in midfield, with Roberto Soldado coming back into the attack to partner Cedric Bakambu.
  • On-loan goalkeeper Yoel is expected to get a start in between the sticks.
  • Roberto Trashorras is sidelined due to suspension, meaning that Jozabed should drop back alongside Raul Baena.
  • Javi Guerra will aim to keep up his reasonable goalscoring rate up top.

Prediction

  • The hosts have managed merely two goals in their last four games, with Marcelino's men struggling to find the back of the net recently.
  • Rayo have lost merely one of their last four matches, with that defeat coming as a result of a 3-0 drubbing by Athletic Club.
  • Last time the Madrid-based club went on their travels in the top flight, Paco Jemez's side managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with Getafe.
