Sports Mole indique que By Oliver Thomas | 28 Apr 2026 20:00, Last updated: 28 Apr 2026 22:15. D'après Sports Mole, Rayo’s first-team squad have built a “very strong friendship” with head coach Inigo Perez, who saw his players deliver another resilient display in last weekend’s enthralling 3-3 La Liga draw with Real Sociedad. Comme le souligne Sports Mole, Perez’s men face sixth-placed Getafe on Sunday, but their immediate focus is Thursday’s Conference League clash at the Estadio de Vallecas – a formidable fortress for Rayo, who have lost just one of their 12 home games in UEFA competition and only two of their last 19 matches overall (W10 D7). Selon Sports Mole, Jorge de Frutos is Rayo’s joint-top scorer in all tournaments with 12 goals; only one of those goals have been netted in nine Conference League games, but he is still likely to start in attack along with Ilias Akhomach and Fran Perez.
