Rayo Vallecano Team Preview
Team Form: Rayo Vallecano’s recent form has been a mixed bag. They started the season impressively with two consecutive victories, showcasing their potential. However, their momentum was halted by a crushing 0-7 defeat to Atletico Madrid and a 1-0 loss to Real Betis just before the break. Nonetheless, they got back on track with a solid 2-0 win over Alaves last week, which pushed them up to sixth place in La Liga. The team will be looking to build on this positive result.
Team News: In terms of team news, midfielder Oscar Trejo made a comeback in the 2-0 victory over Deportivo Alaves, coming on as a substitute after recovering from an injury that had kept him out for two games. Head coach Francisco is likely to consider including the experienced 35-year-old midfielder in the starting lineup, bolstering the team’s midfield options.
However, Radamel Falcao, known as “El Tigre,” is unlikely to feature in the upcoming match due to his absence from training on Thursday, with reasons undisclosed. His absence could be a setback for Rayo Vallecano’s attack.
Additionally, Randy Nteka, on loan from Elche, is set to be unavailable for a few weeks due to a hamstring injury in the adductors. Nteka’s absence further impacts the team’s options, especially in midfield.

Villarreal Team Preview
Team Form: Villarreal’s recent form has been somewhat inconsistent. They started the season with a 2-1 victory over AlmerĂa in La Liga, which was followed by a challenging 3-1 defeat to Cadiz. The team then had a thrilling encounter with FC Barcelona, which ended in a 4-3 defeat. However, they managed to secure a 1-0 victory over Mallorca on August 18, 2023, in another La Liga fixture. In their most recent match, they faced a disappointing 2-0 loss to Panathinaikos in the UEFA Europa League.
Team News: Villarreal will be dealing with several confirmed absences for their clash against Rayo Vallecano. Denis Suarez, who left the field in the 30th minute against Panathinaikos due to injury, is marked as doubtful, which could lead to Yeremy Pino stepping in as a replacement.
Left-back Alfonso Pedraza will miss the match as he serves the final match of his suspension following a red card in their 1-3 defeat to Cadiz. This absence might provide an opportunity for 18-year-old Carlos Romero to feature in the defensive line once again.
