THE PREDICTION

Espanyol come into this on the back of a 2-1 defeat away to reigning champions Atletico Madrid at the weekend. The Catalans conceded a 100th minute penalty as they fell to a defeat against ten-man opposition. They begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting firmly in the middle-of-the-table. One of the teams that they were promoted with last season was Rayo Vallecano. Andoni Iraola’s playoff winners from last summer had an unbelievable first-half of the season whereby they sat inside the European spots for much of it. Rayo have been horrendous in 2022, though, and are not completely safe from the drop. A low-scoring home win is the likeliest outcome for this one.
