Rayo's three-man midfield will need to press high and deny Osasuna's ten the space to combine.Jorge de Frutos returns from suspension to add width and directness to Rayo's attack, and his presence gives Iraola's side a genuine threat on the counter. Both lineups are drawn from multiple credible sources, so the shape of this fixture looks reasonably settled ahead of Saturday's midday kickoff.

The hosts have won three of the last four meetings with Rayo, including a 2-0 triumph at El Sadar last season. Despite a worrying run of three consecutive defeats, Osasuna's recent training focus on possession and attacking drills suggests a response is brewing. Rayo arrive in decent form, yet their overall away record lacks consistency. The head-to-head dominance tilts this fixture firmly towards the home side or a stalemate.
