In the twelfth matchday of LaLiga EA Sports, postponed due to DANA, Villarreal will host Rayo Vallecano this Wednesday at La Cerámica. This is a match that compares two teams with very different realities in terms of recent results.
Villarreal, led by Marcelino García Toral, have not achieved a win in their last four matches and suffered elimination from the Copa del Rey at the hands of Pontevedra. On the contrary, Rayo, coached by Iñigo Pérez, put an end to a negative phase by winning at Valencia and subsequently drew 3-3 against Real Madrid, demonstrating good form.
As for the available players, Villarreal will have to deal with several injuries and suspensions. Dani Parejo, Álex Baena and Kiko Femenia, who are regular resources, will not be in the match, and injured starters Juan Foyth, Alfonso Pedraza, Ilias Akomach, Ramón Terrats, Nicolas Pepe, goalkeeper Diego Conde and Logan Costa will also be missing. A critical point concerns the attack, where Ayoze Pérez and Thierno Barry seem to have the favor of the moment compared to Gerard Moreno, who could still have a chance to play.
On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano does not have the same number of absentees, but the frequency of matches could lead Iñigo Pérez to make some rotations. Óscar Valentín, Álvaro García and Sergio Camello could return to the starting lineup, while Pathé Ciss, Embarba and Nteka could remain out.
Possible lineups for the match:
For Villarreal he said: Luiz Junior; Pau Navarro, Raúl Albiol, Eric Bailly, Sergi Cardona; Comesaña, Pape Gueye, Yeremy Pino, Denis Suarez; Ayoze Pérez and Thierno Barry.
Per il Rayo Vallecano, invece, ci saranno: Batalla; Ratiu, Mumin, Lejeune, Chavarría; Valentín, Unai López; Isi, De Frutos, Álvaro; tra Camello o Nteka.
