Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Valencia play host to Rayo Vallecano at their Estadio de Mestalla on day 15 of the new La Liga campaign. Los Che have been having their ups and downs in the first half of the season, and, as a result, they sit in 10th place in the standings. Anyhow, they are capable of matching los Vallecanos in front of home fans.
Defender Hugo Guillamon is back from suspension, while Gabriel Paulista remains in the recovery room. The capital club, on the other hand, have been impressive at home ground this season, but given their anything but brilliant away record in the 2021/2022 season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Martin Merquelanz is sidelined with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Denis Cheryshev):
Probably the most famous Russian footballer never to have played for a domestic club, Denis Cheryshev was born in Nizhny Novgorod, but began his career at Sporting Gijon as his father played for the Spanish side at the time.
The talented winger eventually caught the eye of Real Madrid and went on to spend eight years in the youth academy at Santiago Bernabeu before he was given a chance to impress on senior level. Due to a fierce competition for places in Madrid, Cheryshev was forced to gain much needed first team experience via loan spells at Sevilla, Villarreal and Valencia, and he showed a great deal of potential during those stints, proving los Blancos were wrong to let him leave.
Chersyhev has been in and out of the Russia national team since making his debut in 2012, but there is a good chance he will become an important member of Sbornaya Komanda as soon as he secures regular playing time at club level. The Russian footballer is capable of operating on either wing or through the middle, and he has proved to be quite prolific in terms of both goals and assists.
Highlighted Team (Rayo Vallecano):
