Team News

Rayo Vallecano
Villarreal
  • Sergio Camello is the only confirmed absentee for Rayo Vallecano, but they do have a few players who will be hoping to prove their fitness ahead of this game.
  • Joni Mentiel, Raul de Tomas, and Unai Lopez were all unavailable to face Barcelona last time out, but there's a chance they could return for this one.
  • Ilias Akhomach will be unavailable for this one as he continues his recovery from long-term injury.
  • Gerard Moreno remains a doubt after struggling with an injury issue of late, but there is a chance he will be fit enough for a spot on the bench. Alfonso Pedraza could return after a spell on the treatment table, but he's also a doubt.
  • Kiko Femenia is a doubt once again for Villarreal after missing their previous fixture. Pau Navarro could keep his place at right-back.

Prediction

  • Barcelona ended Raya Vallecano's run of three straight La Liga victories last time out thanks to a Robert Lewandowski penalty in a 1-0 win. Rayo were also unbeaten in the league since 1st December before their loss against Barcelona.
  • Villarreal are also on an impressive run of form, unbeaten in their previous five fixtures. They currently sit one place above Rayo, but they have a six-point lead over Saturday's opponents.
  • Rayo have a chance to close that gap on Villarreal to just three points, but the latter have been impressive on the road this season. Marcelino's side have lost just three times away from home, securing 21 points.
