Rayo Vallecano vs Drita Prediction & Betting Tips (18 December)

Rayo Vallecano, in the second part of the table in Spain, is among the big favorites for the title in a Europa Conference League in which there are quite a few modest European teams. After 5 days, the Iñigo Pérez men, ex-Osasuna player, are in an interesting position, in 7th place, with 10 points on the clock even if mathematically nothing is decided as the 24th is 7 points away. Rayo beat Jagiellonia Bialystok in Poland 2 goals to 1 in their last match. Opposite, FK Drita Kosovo is the kind of team that is showing up at the beginning of July to try to qualify for the unlikely Champions League and firmly hopes to nab a ticket for the C3 and C4.

Moreover, the Kosovo champion, 5th two-thirds of the way through the season this year, is doing not so badly in this C4 by being in the top 20 with the firm hope of staying warm to compete in the 1/16 finals play-offs. FK Drita defeated AZ Alkmaar 0-3 on the last day. 

Still no Mumin (convalescent), Oscar Trejo (midfielder) nor Diego Mendez and Pedro Diaz for Inigo Perez (coach), all injured. As a bonus, Brazilian offensive player Alemao and defender Pacha have recently joined treatment. Suspended in the league, Unai Lopez (2 assists in La Liga) is available to play in Europe. The best offensive player in this formation, de Frutos (4 goals in the league) will be well placed on his wing. Alvaro Garcia is not to be outdone either with 3 goals on the clock.

This C4 introduces us to often very modest squads, rest assured that will be the case this evening with Drita. Namely that even the best elements of the squad do not have a place in the national team, like Besnik Krasniqi, author of 3 goals in 11 championship matches, 2nd best scorer for the reigning champion. Arb Manaj, the sole scorer in a crucial success against Skhendija a few days ago, has 3 selections for a goal in the selection. Normally the usual starter in the defensive sector Juan Mesa will not be in the game due to an injury.
