Rayo Vallecano will bid to book their place in the second round of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey when they tackle the sixth-tier outfit Villamuriel Tuesday evening.

The visitors will enter the competition on the back of a 1-0 win Alaves Saturday, where the result moved them up to ninth place in La Liga tablewhile Villamuriel recorded a 5-0 win over Rayo Abulense in Spain’s sixth tier last time out.

We say: Villamuriel 0-3 Rayo Vallecano

Rayo will rest a number of key players on Tuesday, but we find it incredibly difficult to predict anything other than a comfortable success for the La Liga outfit, who should have far too much quality all over the pitch.

The visitors come into the match after a 2-1 home defeat to Villarrealwhich left them in 19th place in the La Liga tablewhile Astur drew 3-3 with sixth-placed Union Comercial on Saturday.

We say: Astur 0-2 Real Valladolid

Astur is not used to losing football matches at the moment, while Real Valladolid is struggling to pick up positive results. It could be a close game in terms of the scoreline on Tuesday night, but we’d be stunned if Real Valladolid weren’t the team to progress to the second round when the game is over.
