After comfortable Copa del Rey wins, Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano will go head-to-head in La Liga at Estadio de la Ceramica. Hosts Villarreal can rise to second with a win, while Rayo will be targeting a place in the top six. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Villarreal are going for a seventh win as they look to at least hold on to third spot. A 6-0 win against Ciudad de Lucena in the Copa Del Rey will have them pumped up for this game.
Earlier they had also beaten Valencia 2-0 to rise after their defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League. At home in La Liga, Villarreal haven't lost in the last 11, winning eight.
Rayo Vallecano beat CD Yuncos 6-1 in their Copa Del Rey outing, extending their good start to the season. That was their sixth undefeated outing, a run in which they have only failed to win once—the 2-2 draw with Hacken.
This six-match unbeaten run started off after earlier going winless in five, and Rayo will be looking to keep it going. This stability has also been reflected in recent away matches, where after three straight defeats, they are now unbeaten in four.
Rayo will hope this lifts them from seventh, where they trail a place in Europe by a point. They are winless in four against Villarreal, though.
