Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid – Latest news, team form, and possible lineups:
Although the guests are the favourites, the home team proved they're capable of playing against the best. So, let's check both teams out now:
Rayo Vallecano
Although Rayo Vallecano was in the race for a spot in European competitions until recently, they have now dropped down to the 12th place in the standings after losing four games in a row. Still, the team can be pleased with their season until now, especially since Rayo Vallecano also reached the semi-finals of Copa del Rey.
Rayo Vallecano will likely be without Martin Merquelanz due to his injury that's kept him out for a long time now, while Unai Lopez and Jose Pozo are deemed questionable.
Rayo Vallecano predicted lineup:
Dimitrievski – Balliu, Saveljich, Catena, Rodrigues – Valentin, Comesana – Palazon, Trejo, A. Garcia – Guardiola
Real Madrid
In the last six games in La Liga, Real Madrid has four wins and two draws, thanks to which they are maintaining their advantage over Sevilla, who is six points behind them in the second place. All in all, Real Madrid is having a good season, but it remains to be seen whether they can avoid elimination in Champions League after losing to PSG 1-0 in Paris.
Real Madrid currently has a nearly clean bill of health, although Alaba and Bale are questionable for this game, as well as their backup goalkeeper Lunin.
Real Madrid predicted lineup:
Courtois – Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy – Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos – Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius
