Team News

Athletic Club
Rayo Vallecano
  • Athletic Club do not have many injuries to worry about going into the weekend's fixtures, and should field their strongest eleven against Rayo, who are six points behind the hosts in the La Liga table.
  • Gorka Guruzeta looked tired against Girona and was replaced by Raul Garcia early in the second half, though he should keep his place up front for his favourable goal and assist contributions.
  • Unai Lopez could have a place secured in defensive midfield this weekend, having scored against Barcelona last Saturday. Pathe Ciss is likely to drop to the bench for the second week running.
  • Ivan Balliu looks back to fully fitness, which could keep Andrei Ratiu out of the team for the time being.
  • Luckily, Rayo have no injury concerns to report...

Prediction

  • Rayo boss Francisco will be the one to decide whether he sticks with Sergio Camello up top for the trip to Athletic Club on Saturday. With Raul de Tomas rested for the 1-1 draw against Barcelona, the visitors could opt for a smash and grab mentality going into this one. Defending deep and counter attacking optimistically is Rayo's bread and butter on the road under their new manager this season; the last time they were beaten away from home was at the beginning of September.
  • Athletic Club were able to take a point off Girona on Monday evening and will be brimming with confidence going into the weekend. Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta is back to full fitness now to pair with Mikel Vesga, and Ernesto Valverde has seemed encouraged recently that his side have began to control games for 90 minutes.
  • A draw is most likely for this one but either side when playing at their best could beat any team in this league...
