ℹ️ Team News: Rayo Vallecano

From a largely healthy group, there is only the lone fitness issue for the Rayo Vallecano boss Iñigo Pérez to be concerned about. Abdul Mumin (Knee injury) won’t be in action.

💡 Prediction

In our view, Celta Vigo should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

In contrast, Rayo Vallecano might well find it a difficult task to break down their defence although we do think it’s probable that they will be getting the chances to score, too.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Celta Vigo at the end of the 90 minutes.
