Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano preview - Molina out for revenge

Real Betis striker Jorge Molina started the season in fine form with two goals in the 5-3 win away at Athletic Bilbao in week one and he is looking for revenge against Rayo Vallecano this weekend.

Los Verdiblancos were beaten convincingly twice by Rayo last season and Molina has said they must look to learn from the mistakes they made in those games.

He told the club's website: "We have to take them seriously because last year they beat us in the two games. It will be difficult, we have to be at 100% and correct our errors to be able to take the three points. We have to look at ourselves and if we are capable of playing our game then we will be close to our objective."

Boss Pepe Mel will be forced into at least a couple of changes as Ruben Perez and Ruben Castro have both been ruled out. That could mean a debut for on-loan Arsenal forward Joel Campbell in attack, whilst Jose Canas is expected to come into midfield.

Rayo, meanwhile, also got off to a winning start as Roberto Trashorras wonderful stoppage time free-kick handed them a 1-0 win over Granada.

That also meant a winning debut for the new central defensive pairing of Alejandro Galvez and Jordi Amat and Galves believes they can also contain Betis' threat.

He told AS: "The best thing was to take the three points, but there were also other positive things. We played well in the first-half but in the second we committed more errors and were imprecise. It was possibly nerves due to the fact we were playing our first home game and we hope to do even better against Betis

"It is true Betis have attackers of a great level, but we too can count on a strong defence. Ruben Castro's injury also clearly benefits us because he is a very important player for them."

Alejandro Dominguez is expected to make his Rayo debut, but Anat is a doubt so Mikel Labaka could come in to partner Galvez.
