Madrid, 19 Feb. Andoni Iraola, coach of Rayo Vallecano, leaves with his usual starting XI, without any news, and the Argentinian Jorge Sampaoli, due to losses, improvises the defense with three new players, Gonzalo Montiel, Fernando Reges and Alex Telles, who returns after injury. .
Rayo begins with Dimitrievsky; Balliu, Catena, Lejeune, Fran Garcia; Valentin, Comesana; Isi, Trejo, Alvaro; and Camel.
In Sevilla, Sampaoli has suffered numerous losses in the center of defence, as the injured centre-backs (longtime Brazilian Marcao Teixeira and Dutchman Karim Rekik) were joined against PSV by Frenchman Loïc Badé and Serbian Nemanja Gudelj is suspended.
In this way, Sampaoli improvises the defense with Montiel, Fernando and Telles, who returns after injury, and bets on Rafa Mir as a center forward.
Sevilla play with Bono; Montiel, Nianzou, Fernando, Telles, Acuña; Gueye, Oliver Torres, Ocampos, Suso; and Raphael Mir. EFE
