The Alaves manager Luis García Plaza has a full complement, with no fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this game with a fully injury-free squad to pick from.
We think that Babazorros could kick off with a 4-3-3 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Antonio Sivera, Andoni Gorosabel, Abdelkabir Abqar, Rafa Marin, Javi Lopez, Ander Guevara, Carlos Benavidez, Jon Guridi, Carlos Vicente, Samuel Omorodion and Luis Rioja.
📰 Team News: Rayo Vallecano
Owing to a fully injury-free group available for selection, the Rayo Vallecano boss Iñigo Pérez has no fitness worries at all coming into this clash.
It’s our belief that Franjirrojos seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Stole Dimitrievski, Ivan Balliu, Aridane Hernandez, Florian Lejeune, Alfonso Espino, Oscar Valentin, Miguel Crespo, Isi Palazon, Unai Lopez, Alvaro Garcia and Raul de Tomas.
💭 Prediction
We think that Rayo Vallecano will have to work hard as a team to hit the back of the net against this Alaves lineup who we think will score at least once to put them ahead.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a good battle with a 1-0 winning margin for Alaves when all is said and done.
We’re expecting it to be that close.
