Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Cadiz and Rayo Vallecano go head to head at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on day 27 of the current La Liga campaign. The Yellow Submarine are desperate to escape the relegation zone, and they should take advantage of Rayo’s poor form. Cadiz failed to win the previous four league fixtures, but it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. The good news for the hosts is that defender Alfonso Espino is back from suspension.
Los Vallecanos, on the other hand, impressed in the first half of the season, but they have been totally out of form of late. The capital club are on a five-game losing run in the national championship, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Both Lopez and Merquelanz are likely to miss the game with injuries, speaking of the away team.
