Rayo Analysis: James Rodriguez is coming to the team

Rayo Vallecano, on the other hand, will go into the game coming off a 2-1 loss to Barcelona; in the ninth minute of play, Unai Lopez gave the capital team the lead, but Pedri tied it for the visitors. Dani Olmo then came off the bench and sealed it in his debut game for the Catalan giants. But Rayo put up yet another impressive display, and Inigo Perez’s team is off to a good start this year. They defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 on the road in their division opener before splitting the points in a scoreless tie with Getafe in the second match of the new league. James Rodriguez was one of six players Rayo Vallecano signed this summer; the Colombian international left Sao Paulo on a free transfer. Rayo Vallecano is now seventh in the rankings.

 

Espanyol Analysis: Looking to get the first win of the season

In their first two La Liga games of the 2024–25 season, Espanyol was defeated 1-0 by Real Valladolid and then again by Real Sociedad the previous weekend. But on Wednesday, the Catalan team showed a lot more improvement against Atletico, and they managed to salvage a point in a scoreless tie with Diego Simeone’s team. The promoted team will instead be focused on their match against Rayo Vallecano, with the opportunity to go into the September international break on the strength of their first win of the season. Espanyol currently sits 18th in the table, but not much can be examined into the standings at this point. Through the 2023–24 Segunda Division playoffs, the White and Blues were able to return to La Liga. This summer, they signed seven players, including Alejo Veliz, who was loaned out by Tottenham Hotspur.
