Rayo Vallecano vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting Tips (16 September)

Rayo Vallecano showed a very good face during the first day by winning on the complex pitch of Real Sociedad 1-2, but it was all just an illusion. Indeed, the residents of the Madrid suburbs subsequently disappeared against Getafe 0-0 before losing twice against FC Barcelona at home 1-2 and lastly, on the lawn of the promoted, Espanyol Barcelona 2-1, which remains a setback... ultra compromising. In the standings, at the start of this championship day, Vallecano was in 11th place.

Osasuna took the bull by the horns at the start of the season and has 7 points after 4 matches, as many as Girona or Alaves. 7th at the start of this day, depending on the results of the weekend, the little reds will probably have lost places but must aim for this top 7 and keep it until the end of the season. Note that before the international break, the Basques did not fall into the trap of Celta Vigo 3-2 and they corrected their exit in Girona a few days before, a heavy 4-0 defeat. During J1, Osasuna was embarrassed by the promoted Leganes 1-1 but made up for it very well by beating Mallorca 1-0 who had just taken 1 point against Real Madrid.

During the trip to Espanyol, left-back Espino left prematurely with an injury and will remain on the side this evening. The diagnosis has been made: fracture of the fibula and probable end of the season. He thus joins Mendez on the injured list. This summer, Rayo lost Bebe (Ferrol), Jose Pozo, Kike Perez (return from loan, Valladolid), Miguel Crespo (return from loan, Fenerbahce then Basaksehir), without forgetting to mention the starting goalkeeper Dimitriesvski (Valencia), the iconic scorer Falcao (Millonarios in Colombia), and Jonathan Montiel (Burgos, loan). On the other hand, in the cross-hunting, the club signed in the last days of the transfer window the MVP of the last Copa America, James Rodriguez (free), Sergio Guardiola (Cadiz, free), or even obtained the loan of the Argentinian Batalla (River Plate), midfielder Pedro Diaz (Bordeaux, free), Adrian Embarba (Almeria), Gerard Gumbau (Granada) or even the young Felayo Fernandez (Barcelona, ​​free) who is waxing the bench for the moment.

The Rojillos will evolve without Kike Barja (cruciate ligament rupture) and without Iker Munoz (metatarsal fracture). Two serious injuries which will keep them away from the match sheets for a little while longer. During the summer transfer window, Osasuna did not really move its pawns except for the arrivals of Boyomo (Valladolid), Benito Iker, or even the Spanish crack, Zaragoza (on loan from Bayern Munich). In terms of departures, the important David Garcia decided to go to the Middle East, the titular full-back and Colombian international, Mojica returned to Villarreal before being sold to Mallorca and that's about it for the Basques who will always be able to count on their favorite striker and Croatian international, Ante Budimir (17 goals last season) who, having said that, has still not settled the sights this season.
