Almeria vs Rayo Vallecano Preview: Potential Lineups, News, and Form
This is a very close matchup between two teams of similar quality, so let's take a closer look at them before they meet:
Almeria
After the first seven rounds of the new La Liga season, Almeria is in the relegation zone with four points. That's not a huge surprise for a newly-promoted team, but their fans certainly hoped for a better start. The more worrying is the fact that Almeria did start well, but they are now on a four-game losing streak.
Meanwhile, the team is also dealing with more than a few injuries, with Cesar De La Hoz, Alex Centelles, Gonzalo Melero, Ivan Martos, and Juanjo Nieto all out with injruies. Also, Marko Milovanovic is questionable.
Almeria Predicted Lineup:
Martinez – Pozo, Ely, Babic, Akieme – Robertone, Eguaras, Costa – Ramazani, Embarba, Sousa
Rayo Vallecano
Just like last season, Rayo Vallecano had a solid start and they currently have ten points from seven games, which is enough to put them right in the middle of La Liga standings. In the last six games, the team has three wins and three losses, so they've been inconsistent clearly, but overall, they've done pretty well.
Rayo Vallecano will be without injured Andres Martin in this game. Also, Raul de Tomas will only be eligible to play for Vallecano from January.
Rayo Vallecano predicted lineup:
Dimitrievski – Balliu, Lejeune, Catena, Garcia – Palazon, Valentin, Comesana, Rivera – Perez, Trejo
