Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Rayo Vallecano will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win at Huesca when they host Deportivo Alaves at their Estadio del Rayo Vallecano. Los Vallecanos gave fans some cheer at the weekend, but they need to keep on raising their form if they are to secure the La Liga survival. It is well known that the capital club produce much better displays at home than on the travels, but Saturday’s football match will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Deportivo Alaves, on the other hand, head into the game following back-to-back wins over Espanyol and Real Valladolid and they are certainly brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Madrid. A close encounter is on the cards and seeing that Rayo Vallecano are tough to beat at home, we predict that the two teams are going to share the spoils on Matchday 5.

Highlighted Player (Jordi Amat):

As a product of Espanyol’s youth academy, Jordi Amat started his career with the club’s B side in the Spanish third division back in 2009/10 season. It was not too long before Amat was fast-tracked into the first team and managed to grab a starting place for the Barcelona-based club.
The Spanish centre-back fell out of favour in 2012 and was initially sent out on a loan spell with Rayo Vallecano before Espanyol decided to part ways with him and sell him to Swansea City in 2013. Having arrived at the Liberty as a 21-year-old, Amat signed a four-year deal to become another Spanish acquisition of Michael Laudrup who continued to raid La Liga following the success stories of Michu, Chico and Jonathan de Guzman.
Jordi Amat went on to record 73 appearances in all competitions during his three-year stay with Swansea City. In 2018 he returned to Spain – signing a deal with Rayo Vallecano – after a season spent on loan at Real Betis.
Highlighted Team (Alaves):

Alaves is a Spanish football club located in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alava. The club were founded in 1921 and they play their home games at Estadio Mendizorrotza. The capacity of the stadium is 19,840 and it has to be noted that it is the third oldest stadium in Spanish football. After spending several years in the Spanish Segunda Division, los Babazorros returned to the top flight in 2016.
The color of Alaves’ home kit is blue and white and the club’s local rivals are fellow Basque sides Real Sociedad, Athletic Club, Osasuna and Eibar. Alaves made it to the UEFA CUP final in 2001, but they were beaten by Liverpool 5-4 in a thrilling football clash. Anyhow, that is still regarded as the club’s biggest success. Los Babazorros booked their place in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on four occasions and they have yet to win the Primera Division trophy.
