ANDl Lightning wants to stay in the top positions without curbing a winning streak in Vallecas. Three games, three victories with 10 goals in favor and only one against. They are more than hopeful numbers in the objective of permanence to receive the visit of one of those teams from the same League, the Elche de Escribá.
On their last visit to Vallecas, on March 8, 2020 prior to Covid, both teams were in the silver category and the then team led by Pacheta beat 2-3.
Andoni Iraola will not be able to count on Martin Merquelanz (injury) or with Ivan Balliu (penalty for accumulation of cards). Doubt hangs over the figure of Radamel Falcao, who will barely have a training session after being called up with Colombia. The Usúrbil coach, despite this, has already confirmed that he will enter the call.
Elche visits Rayo Vallecano ready to continue on the path of victory. To do this, he will seek his second consecutive win and third of the course, after beating Celta (1-0) before the break. Despite the remarkable start of Madrid as a local, the Elche team have history on their side: they have won in eight of their last ten visits to Vallecas.
Fran Scribe must fit the defense puzzle by international commitments.
