Due to a tendon injury, Ruben de Tomas is still out of action for Rayo, but the home team is in good shape going into Saturday’s match. Oscar Trejo and Radamel Falcao are both vying for a spot in the starting lineup for this game, so head coach Iraola has a lot to decide about the team.
Trejo could start in place of Unai Lopez, which would be the only change from the team that started against Real Valladolid last time out. It seems likely that Sergio Camello will lead the attack once more.
