How Rayo Vallecano go into the game

Rayo were hammered 5-2 at Barcelona last time out, a chastening trip. Back at a raucous Vallecas, they will be a different proposition against the newcomers.

Rayo are typically awkward at home and carry a threat. Making home advantage count is the aim after that defeat.

How Racing Santander go into the game

Racing Santander won 3-2 against Elche last time out, a fine start on their return to La Liga. Confidence will be high.

Newly promoted, Racing are spirited and dangerous going forward but must tighten up. A trip to Vallecas is a real test.
