LaLiga will measure the effect of the Osasuna and Rayo Cup hangover. Vicente Moreno's men have not needed ibuprofen and want to extend the San Mamés festival by winning at home against Rayo. Different sensations in the Vallecano team, which fell in Anoeta and must refocus as soon as possible to recover the good dynamic and stay away from danger.
How Osasuna arrives: Osasuna comes from taming the lions in a historic match in which they sealed their place in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey. Against the current champion, in their field, in a match in which Vicente Moreno won the chess game against Valverde. Full of morale, the rojillos have a trap match against Rayo Vallecano. In the first round, those from Pamplona took the lead and those from the fringes turned the score around. The league streak, despite the passage to the quarterfinals in the Copa del Rey, is still bad: two months without a win. It could be a great week for the rojillos who want, must and need to win to get into the fight for European positions.
Osasuna-Rayo probable lineups
How Lightning arrives: After reaching one of the best moments of the season, Rayo fell in the Cup against Real, although they hope to continue their good streak in the League. Sadar will be the ideal setting for Iñigo Pérez to demonstrate that it was just a setback. Due to suspension, Pathé Ciss will not be able to play against Osasuna, so Óscar Valentín and Unai López will play in the double pivot. In addition, Iñigo confirmed that Nteka, who did not finish training, will not be able to be there due to injury. Batalla, recovered, will return to the goal.
The duel of the match: Catena vs Lejeune. A former pair of Rayo centre-backs, they are two control towers that dominate the aerial game and clear any dangerous ball.

Chain vs Lejeune
The prediction of… Rubén Jiménez: The high cup after eliminating Athletic in San Mamés can give Osasuna the necessary extra to forget the fatigue. Rayo, defeated in Anoeta, will have just the opposite effect. OSASUNA 2-0 LIGHTNING
