Team News

Rayo Vallecano
Athletic Club
  • Abdul Mumin joins Oscar Trejo on the sidelines through suspension this weekend after picking up a yellow card in the 3-0 defeat to Barcelona.
  • Aridane Hernandez should step in at the back.
  • Jorge de Frutos could earn a second consecutive start as the youngster is given some extra minutes at the end of the season.
  • Gorka Guruzeta is the only player out injured for Athletic Club as the Williams' brothers should both be present for the visitors' last game of the season.
  • Club servant Raul Garcia was given the opportunity to start up front for the last time at the San Mames in the victory over Sevilla, though he could feature from the bench this weekend.

Prediction

  • Rayo Vallecano welcome Athletic Club to the Vallecas this weekend, who themselves ended their month-and-a-half winless run with a 2-0 victory over Sevilla at the San Mames last weekend. The visitors ran out 4-0 victors in the reverse fixture and could be in for a decent opportunity on Saturday night.
  • Rayo have the opportunity to jump from 16th to 13th should results go their way this weekend. An unlikely win would be a charming way to end interim boss Inigo Perez's tenure this season. Athletic Club however are cemented in fifth place and are looking for an end of season confidence booster as they chase the UCL next season.
  • Athletic Club are the clear favourites here, though fans at the Vallecas have arguably saved Rayo's skin this season.
