📋 Team News: Rayo Vallecano

In our view, Franjirrojos will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, handing starts to Augusto Batalla, Andrei Ratiu, Florian Lejeune, Nobel Mendy, Alfonso Espino, Pathe Ciss, Gerard Gumbau, Ilias Akhomach, Isi Palazon, Alvaro Garcia and Jorge de Frutos.

📰 Team News: Real Oviedo

We are inclined to think that Carbayones could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Aaron Escandell, Nacho Vidal, Dani Calvo, David Carmo, Javi Lopez, Nicolas Fonseca, Kwasi Sibo, Haissem Hassan, Alberto Reina, Ilyas Chaira and Federico Vinas.

🔮 Prediction

We’re thinking that Rayo Vallecano will most probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

In contrast, Real Oviedo won’t find it easy finding the net themselves although we do see them scoring as well.

We reckon that it will be a controlled 3-1 victory for Rayo Vallecano after 90 minutes.
