He Ray has four points out of twelve in play, resulting in one victory (Real Sociedad), one draw (Getafe) and two defeats (Barcelona and Espanyol) in the last two matches.
For this match, the main question for Rayo is whether he will make his debut. James Rodriguez, something that seems likely although not at the beginning. The Colombian is being a differential player with the Colombian national team, as he demonstrated this week against Argentina, but Inigo Perez He doesn’t want to run with it and therefore could wait for his chance from the bench.
This circumstance could allow the entry into the eleven of the Argentine Oscar Trejo in the midfield, behind Sergio Camello, or even Isi Palazón if the Navarrese coach opts for Adrián Embarba and Álvaro García on the wings.

The other doubt lies in the goalkeeping. Dani Cardenas He was injured before the match against Espanyol and returned to training this week. Depending on his fitness, Iñigo Pérez will choose him or Augusto Batalla.
Opposite is Osasunawho arrives at the match with the doubt of Ante Budimir in the starting eleven after the Balkan international was unable to fully recover from the discomfort in his thigh that he suffered after his stay with Croatia.
The striker’s absence during the week has affected a team that has been used to counting on him as a reference point for several seasons. Despite not having managed to score in the current campaign, his mere presence in the opposition’s area serves to sow fear and pin down rivals who leave one of his teammates free.

He trained for the first time today and his call-up is not ruled out. “Raúl García is a fantastic player and his previous career, last season and the goals he scored are a testament to that. If I have to use him tomorrow, I have no doubts about him. I don’t rule out that he could help us with a goal,” said Moreno about the Catalan forward who could replace Budimir.
The rest of the eleven seems more or less settled. Sergio Herrera, Areso, Catena, Boyomo and Bretons They will form the defensive wall. Torró, in top physical form, will act as a pivot with a line of four in front of him.
Rubén García, Moncayola, Aimar and Bryan would be the midfielders with different roles in the middle zone. The second of them will help Torró in his work, while the last one will focus on unbalancing the match.
