Unionistas vs Rayo Vallecano. Spanish Cup match prediction and bets

Current form

"Unionistas" managed to get into the Spanish Cup quite recently, but they didn't manage to get very far. In the current championship, the representatives of Castile left no chance for amateur "Utebo" - by the 45th minute, the "black and whites" howled in a 4:0 score, which they managed to maintain until the last minutes and got a ticket to such a high round by the team standards. It is noteworthy that Rabadan scored a hat-trick against the opponent in just 29 minutes. After 15 rounds of the current season of the fourth division, Raul charges have 21 points and are in ninth place in the standings.

Disqualifications and injuries

Idumbo will not be able to take to the football field today (ankle injury).

Interesting trends for betting

• Unionistas have scored at home in their last 15 competitive matches in a row
• Unionistas have not lost in their last ten matches in a row in all competitions

Tentative line-up: Fernandez - Sanchez, Nianzou, Martinez, Pedrosa - Bueno, Carmona, Sow - Lukebakio, Romero.

Current form

Several divisions ahead of their hosts, Rayo Vallecano head here having lost as many games in their previous three league outings as they had in their first nine games. This recent fluctuation has left the away side worse off in terms of points than they have been at the same stage in each of their three La Liga seasons, perhaps heightening early fears of relegation. They were beaten by Athletic Bilbao in the final round, their third defeat in a row. In the Copa del Rey, the Giants were comfortably thrashed by Villamurell (5-0).

Disqualifications and injuries

Espino will not be able to take part in the fight today (foot injury).

Interesting trends for betting

• Rayo Vallecano have scored 92 per cent of their goals from set pieces this season, a league record

Probable line-up: Cardenas - Lejeune, Ratiu, Mumin, Chevaria - Ciss, Lopez, Embarba, Trejo - Nteko.
