Could Rayo Vallecano be dark horses to make a deep run in this season’s Copa del Rey?
Right now, los Franjirrojos sit eighth in La Liga, following a week of productive home games.
First, on Monday night, Andoni Iraola’s team edged out Real Madrid 3-2; Óscar Trejo retaken penalty the difference.
Then, on Thursday, los Vallecanos were held to a goalless draw by Celta de Vigo, with this extending their unbeaten streak to six matches.
In Copa terms, Rayo reached the semi-finals for the first time ever last season, ousted 3-2 on aggregate by Real Betis.
Will they go one step further this time round?
They beat Cardassar 4-2 after extra time in last month’s preliminary round just to get this far.
So, this’ll be Mollerussa’s third tie at this stage, hammered 8-1 by Cádiz in 1989 and 5-1 by Getafe 12 months ago.
Will Rayo Vallecano ease through at Camp Municipal Narcís Sala?
