Espanyol will welcome Rayo Vallecano for a La Liga game this Sunday, looking to record a third straight league win. Seven points stand between the two sides, with Espanyol sitting sixth, three places ahead of Rayo Vallecano. Below is our preview and a prediction of the match.
After the embarrassment of losing to Baleares in Copa del Rey action, Espanyol can’t wait to bounce back here. They come into this game off the back of two straight wins in the league.
The most recent of them was a way to Celta Vigo, and returning home elevates their chances of a win. The hosts have 24 points in total, but 16 have come in home matches, which explains their confidence coming here.
Rayo Vallecano won their Copa game, beating Real Avila 2-1, but they had to do it the hard way. It went all the way to extra time after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
While they celebrate advancing to the next stage, Rayo will still be concerned that they are winless in five inside 90 minutes. That will not help a lot as they come face to face with a side they have failed to beat in the last three meetings.
They lost all those three games, and their away form has also not been great, winning once in the last six.
