Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal: Team News
Rayo Vallecano:
Rayo will be without Martin Merquelanz for the second time this season due to injury, while Isi Palazon will be sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury suffered against Getafe. Consequently, Bebe might make it into the XI on Thursday night, and there could be a change in the last third of the pitch, with Sergi Guardiola vying to replace Randy Nteka in the starting lineup.
However, Pathe Ciss will not be in action on Thursday evening due to his suspension after his red card in the match against Getafe. Radamel Falcao is also in contention to play for the home club.
Villarreal:
Villarreal will be without Gerard Moreno and Alberto Moreno for the second consecutive game due to injury, while the visitors might have Yeremi Pino and Arnaut Danjuma back in their lineup. There is a good chance that the side that played against Sevilla will be the same one that takes the field this time around, with Lo Celso perhaps playing right behind Boulaye Dia in attack, while Paco Alcacer is also fighting to make the starting lineup.
As a result, if neither Pino nor Danjuma are considered healthy enough to play, Samuel Chukwueze might once again be used in a wide position while Francis Coquelin, Dani Parejo, and Etienne Capoue should all start in the middle.
Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal: Probable Playing XI
Rayo Vallecano possible starting lineup:
Dimitrievski; Balliu, M Suarez, Catena, F Garcia; Comesana, Valentin; Bebe, Trejo, A Garcia; Guardiola
Villarreal possible starting lineup:
Rulli; Foyth, Albiol, P Torres, Estupinan; Chukwueze, Capoue, Parejo, Coquelin; Lo Celso; Dia
Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal: Betting Predictions
Match Betting: Rayo Vallecano (3.0)
Match Draw (2.5)
Villarreal win (1.1)
The One-Liner Explainer:
Villarreal is in more need of points than Rayo, but the host side’s recent record must be taken into consideration, making this a tough match to predict. A home or away win on Thursday would not be surprising, but we feel that the two clubs will be able to balance each other out in a thrilling tie at the end of the game.
