What They're Saying
Rayo Vallecano midfielder Mohammed Fatau (via Inside Spanish Football): "We have to be alert and focused. We've lost too many times because we've lacked in that regard. Paco Jémez has been scolding us for that today and he has every reason to do so."
Deportivo La Coruña manager Víctor Fernández (via Inside Spanish Football): "Rayo are a team who battle for all or nothing and that's one of their virtues. Speculation doesn't enter into their dictionary because they go out there to win every game and drawing is worthless to them. They're always looking for victory."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Celso Borges is projected to make his debut for Deportivo on Friday. The 26-year-old joined from AIK in the January window and finished his campaign in Sweden with six goals.
Rayo Vallecano's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Tono; Insua, Ba, Castro, Tito; Trashorras, Baena; Kakuta, Bueno, Aquino; Baptistao
