Key Stats
– Rayo Vallecano and Alaves are evenly matched, both picking up six points from their four league games this season.
– Alaves will be hoping to improve their away form in this match, having lost both their away games this season.
Rayo Vallecano will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga when they host Alaves on Friday night.
Francisco’s side are currently in 12th place in the table, having lost their last two games. Alaves, meanwhile, are in 10th place, having won their last game against Valencia. Rayo made a good start to the season, winning their first two away games, but they were then beaten 7-0 at home by Atletico Madrid. They followed that up with a narrow defeat to Real Betis.

Alaves also started the season well, winning their first game against Cadiz, but they then lost to Sevilla and Getafe. However, they bounced back with a win over Valencia. Rayo are expected to be without Jose Angel Pozo due to a muscular problem, but the home side are otherwise in good shape. Head coach Francisco is expected to resist the temptation to shuffle his pack too much, although there are likely to be some changes, with Camello and De Frutos both in line for starts.
Alaves, meanwhile, will again be missing Giuliano Simeone due to the serious ankle injury that he suffered during pre-season. The bulk of the XI that took to the field for the first whistle against Valencia last time out are again expected to feature from the start on Friday night. This has all the makings of a very interesting match, with both sides picking up six points from four league games this season. Alaves have struggled away this term, but they were impressive against Valencia last time out.
Possible lineups:
Rayo Vallecano: Dimitrievski; Balliu, Aridane, Lejeune, Espino; De Frutos, Perez, Valentin, A Garcia; Camello, Nteka
Alaves: Sivera; Gorosabel, Marin, Sedlar, Duarte; Guevara, Blanco; Sola, Guridi, Rioja; Kike Garcia
Predictions
Prediction 1: The match will be a close one.
Both Rayo Vallecano and Alaves are evenly matched teams, and I think the match will be a close one. Both teams have good attacking players, but they also have weaknesses at the back. I think the match could go either way, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended in a draw, with the correct score likely to be 1-1.
Rationale:
- Both teams have picked up six points from their four league games this season.
- Both teams have good attacking players, such as Randy Nteka for Rayo Vallecano and Kike Garcia for Alaves.
- Both teams have weaknesses at the back, such as Rayo Vallecano’s recent 7-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid.
Prediction 2: Randy Nteka will score a goal.
Randy Nteka has been in good form for Rayo Vallecano this season, scoring one goal in four games. He is a quick and agile striker who is good at finding space in the box. He will be a key player for Rayo Vallecano in this match, and I think he will be able to create chances and help his team to win.
Rationale:
- Nteka is a quick and agile striker who is good at finding space in the box.
- He has shown good finishing ability in his limited appearances this season.
- Rayo Vallecano will need his creativity and goalscoring ability to win this match.
