Rival analysis of Rayo Vallecano: Deportivo Alavés

Rayo Vallecano will face Deportivo Alavés on matchday 11 of the EA Sports League at the Vallecas Stadium this Saturday, October 26 at 4:15 p.m.

Despite their not-so-good start to the season, we will do a small analysis of the lineup and tactical system of the Vitoria team

Portería

Starting with the Mendizorroza goalkeepers, Sivera will be between the posts today against Rayo Vallecano. In the 2024/25 season, Antonio Sivera He has established himself as Deportivo Alavés' starting goalkeeper, and his performance has been crucial for the team in its fight to remain in LaLiga. The young goalkeeper has shown qualities that position him as one of the key pieces in the coach's scheme.



Until now, In the 2024/25 season, Antonio Sivera has conceded 18 goals, and has kept a clean sheet on two occasions against Betis and Las Palmas. Despite being one of the teams located at the bottom of the table, it must be taken into account that 6 of those goals have been in the two most complicated visits of the competition, Barcelona (0-3) and Real Madrid (3-2).

Defense

Deportivo Alavés' defense in the 2024/25 season has been characterized by its fragility and lack of cohesion, being one of the shortest and least effective lines in the league. With a defensive system that is still seeking stability, the team has conceded 18 goals to date.

On the right side, ownership is Nahuel Tenaglia. Since his arrival, he has proven to be a solid right back, contributing both defensively and offensively. So much so, that he has a goal and an assist so far this season.

On the other side, ownership in today's game goes to Manu Sánchez. Despite his youth, his loan from Celta de Vigo has been key for the team thanks to his offensive contribution. However, despite his progress, he has to work on his defensive side.

Diarra and Mouriño form the central axis of Deportivo Alavés' defense. This is due to the absences due to injury of Sedlar and Abqar. Novoa is still a doubt for today's game, and perhaps the coach can give him some minutes. However, the physicality and resistance of the French player Diarra, and the experience and good vision of the game of Mouriño will be key for today.

Midfielders

In the midfield, Luis García Plaza will bet this Saturday against Rayo Vallecano for Protesoni's containment and Jordan's magic. Along with them, Vicente, Guridi, Stoichkov join the starting eleven.

Carlos Protesoni He has provided consistency and resilience, standing out as a key defensive midfielder. John Jordandespite being in a less common position, has demonstrated his versatility and has been fundamental in the construction of the game. Vicente has been a key piece in creating opportunities, while Jon Guridi He has shown his capacity for work and resistance. Finally, Stoichkov He has been highlighted for his ability to create chances and his active participation in the attack, contributing to the team's goals.

Attack

In the attack, one of the fundamental pieces for both the coach and the team, as is Kike García, He will not be available today since in the previous match against Real Valladolid he saw a red card. Despite having started the season strongly, scoring two goals in his debut against Sevilla, his performance has had ups and downs in recent weeks.

As a replacement for the player, Luis García Plaza has incorporated Toni Martínez into the starting eleven. His playing style combines speed and technique, which allows him to create opportunities and be a constant danger for rival defenses. Thus, in the first seven games of the 2024/2025 season, he has managed to score three goals, which reflects his ability to find the net and contribute to the team's attack.
