Prediction: 1-1
Rayo Vallecano
Villarreal will be aiming to recover from back-to-back losses to Athletic Bilbao and Real Betis when they take on Rayo Vallecano in a postponed La Liga game. The Yellow Submarine are on a five-game winless run in all competitions, but Wednesday’s clash could be the turning point for Marcelino’s troops. Midfielder Santi Comesana is back from suspension, but all Dani Parejo, Kiko Femenia, and Alex Baena are banned for the midweek clash.
Los Vallecanos, on the other hand, did well to hold Real Madrid to a 3-3 draw in the local derby at the weekend, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Villarreal. Considering that the hosts head into the match with a severely-weakened squad, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Inigo Perez should have a full squad to choose from.
