Cristo González has all the ballots to debut in the Mirandesista ranks. Much is expected of the Canarian striker who returns to Spain after his previous spell at Huesca. José Alberto recovers the central Vivian, which could be the game, after spending five games in the dry dock due to injury. The only one who will not be available to the Asturian coach is the side Carlos Julio, what continues in the process of recovery.
In the Ray, meanwhile, they are not being quiet days. The trip to Miranda, the cup postponements … ended up leading to a staff release franjirroja in which she confessed feeling “helpless by the club” and “tired of this type of situation”. A convulsive moment in the extra sport, which is at the same time sweet in sports, where Iraola’s men have been planted in the eighth of the Cup and remain in the playoffs.
It’s more, Ray have five wins, three of them in 2021. And the year has started at full speed, hence I faced Miranda’s appointment with moderate optimism. You will have to dispute your second duel in less than 72 hours and will do it with several casualties: Advíncula, Velázquez, Ulloa and some more for COVID-19, although the identities of those affected have not transpired. With all this, Iraola’s call will be a great unknown. The Basque coach returns to a very special place where he managed that a newly promoted finish eleventh and reached the semifinal, for the second time in its history, in the KO tournament.

Andoni Iraola, Rayo coach: “I spent a season of which I will always have very good memories and, as I have been there, I know how difficult it will be for us to go to a field like Anduva. They have had a lot of time to prepare this match with care. They will demand of us. a lot because they have a brutal tactical and physical level ”
“They are going to want to dominate the game and so are we. We are two teams that prefer to control possession. We know that we will have to defend a little lower. They are very good at transitions so there will be times when the match breaks down. to try to be together as much as possible, with or without the ball, without breaking down ”
