Atlético Saguntino Preview
They can’t get out of mid-table in their group in the Second Federation, and they suffer from tieness: they have tied three games in a row and two of them have been without goals conceded or scored. The goal has been dramatically closed to them.
Moreover, out of the last 5 matches, 4 have been ties and 1 loss, in such games, they have only been able to score two goals in total. Things are not going well for them. Gerard Albadalejo’s team is one of those that try to have the ball, but they get cloudy in the last area of the field. At least defensively they show a solid performance with only two goals conceded out of the last five, but if the top players don’t help, it’s hard to win games.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Marcos Lavin, Carlos David, Hector Rodas, Roan Riera, Kike Torrent,Luis Navarro, Sana N’Diaye, Ximo Frner, Cesar Díaz, Juanma Acevedo, Nacho Ramón.
Rayo Vallecano Preview
They have been at a spectacular level for a while now, with wins against Real Madrid and Sevilla and draws against Barcelona and Atlético Madrid. Rayo Vallecano has been serious for a while now. Their goal is to get as close to a title as possible and to qualify for Europe, a reality that has never been as close as it is today.
They have not played since November 13, during the first round of the same Copa del Rey, winning against Mollerussa by a score of 1-3. Rayo may not have pace, but they have a great team that even the European champions can’t scare away.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Diego López, Mario Hernández, Estevan Saveljich, Abdul Mumin, Pep Chavarría, Diego Méndez, Mario Suárez, Pablo Muñoz, Unai López, Álvaro García, Radamel Falcao.
JefeBet Prediction
The difference, apart from their level, is that Radamel Falcao is expected to start this match. He has not played in the friendlies the team has had, only training with the group, but they will use this match to fine tune his rhythm as they play La Liga on December 29 against Girona and they need him to be ready.
We believe that Rayo will have no problems beating Saguntino. El Tigre will score a pair and Rayo advances to the next round.
Prediction: Atlético Saguntino 1-3 Rayo Vallecano.
