On Wednesday, Rayo Vallecano welcomes Villarreal for a meeting in the 1/8 round of the King’s Cup. Both teams will want to win to advance to the next round.
Relegated last season to Liga Segunda following its 19th place, Rayo Vallecano has a hard time digesting this last disappointment. This year, the Madrid club is only in 11th place in the ranking. However, it only has 3 points behind on 6th place, qualifying for play-offs with one match less played than its competitors. Undefeated since December 1, the teammates of former Toulousain Trejo beat Girona (1-0) and Lugo (1-0) before sharing the points with Ponferradina (1-1) and Extremadura (1-1) on weekdays -end last. Last week, they defeated Betis Seville (2-2, 4-2 TAB).
Opposite, Villarreal is 8th in La Liga with 3 short lengths behind the qualifying places for the Europa League. Rather good lately, the Yellow Submarine can be ambitious since it has just won 7 of its last 8 games in all competitions. After being beaten by Espanyol in the championship, the partners of Santi Cazorla have returned to success against Deportivo Alaves (1-2) this weekend. In the last match in the King’s Cup last Wednesday, they did not make any details when they thumped Girona (0-3).
The staff for Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal
With 7 goals and 11 assists since the start of the championship, Embarba is the true master of playing Rayo Vallecano this season. However, it is important to report the absences of the potential incumbents Ulloa (ex-Leicester), Bebe, Comesana and Garcia who are all injured.
For its part, Villarreal cannot count on its long-term injured Bruno, on its striker Moreno and without the important defender Pau Torres, who remain in the infirmary. In addition, the 2nd top scorer Toko Ekambi packed his bags for Lyon last week.
Despite the absence of several executives, Villarreal could come and win on the Rayo Vallecano pitch and validate their ticket for the quarter-finals of the competition.
