Rayo Vallecano vs. Espanyol prediction, where to watch, time for La Liga match

La Liga's midweek action continues on Thursday when Rayo Vallecano hosts Espanyol at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas, with the home side desperate for points. Rayo sits 16th in the table with 35 points and is just two points above the bottom three. Iñigo Pérez's side dropped a 3-0 result at Mallorca in its last league outing but returns home for this one, where it has enjoyed the majority of its success this season. Espanyol is 12th in La Liga with 38 points but has not won in its last five matches across all competitions. The visitors were beaten 4-1 at Barcelona in their last game and have lost three of their last five matches, leaving their safety still in question as the season winds down.
