THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of a remarkable start to the season. Following promotion, Rayo would have, and still will, have snapped your hand off for avoiding relegation. Some good business, including the signing of Radamel Falcao, has helped them win four of their opening eight matches as they sit firmly inside the top-half. Elche avoided relegation on the final day of the season last year and they have started this season relatively slowly expecting another long battle. The visitors did win their most recent outing. Rayo will be without Falcao and Elche without left-back Johan Mojica ahead of this match because of Colombian international duty. This could be emblematic of the sides cancelling each other out and a draw would seem a likely outcome.
