Team News

Rayo Vallecano
Valencia
  • Oscar Trejo could be ruled out for this one. He will be assessed ahead of the short turn around for Rayo due to physical discomfort.
  • Gabriel Paulista and Javi Guerra return following their respective suspensions.
  • Hugo Duro should be the lone striker up top given Ruben Baraja's preferred midfielders being fit.

Prediction

  • Rayo were beaten on their travels last week away to a steady handed Osasuna on Friday night, while Valencia managed to snatch a well-earned draw at home to Barcelona.
  • Both sides, renowned for playing with an ordered and possession driven style, have been low scoring as of late. The two teams have been unable to score more than one goal in their last five respective matches in La Liga.
  • Valencia will be undoubtedly spurred on from their impressive performance against Barcelona at the weekend, and the south coast side could bring some gusto with them to the capital on Tuesday evening. A smash and grab victory is not out of the picture for the travelling fans.
