Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Madrid will close Sunday’s action of the La Liga 28th round. The home side hopes to break its winless streak, while the visitors will try to prolong their series of victories.
Rayo Vallecano Preview & Team News
Rayo Vallecano prepares for this game after a 1-1 La Liga tied result against Valencia. Despite failing to win seven consecutive times in the Spanish top flight, the hosts lost only two games during that period. It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Rayo Vallecano has managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Rayo Vallecano has been scored against in 5 of their previous six games, shipping eight goals in the process. Nevertheless, they are still sitting in the top half of the table, in 8th place.
Atletico Madrid Preview & Team News
Atlético Madrid will go into the clash following on from a 1-0 La Liga win over Real Betis in their most recent outing. It was Los Colchoneros’ fourth straight win, which kept them comfortable in 3rd place. In their last six outings, Atlético Madrid has amassed the sum of 13 goals. Atlético Madrid has also not failed to score in every single one of those games. Over that period, they saw two goals scored by their opponents. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though. Due to a fully injury-free group available to select from, Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone has no fitness worries to report coming into this game.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although it is a clash of the two local rivals, Atletico Madrid didn’t have many troubles beating Rayo Vallecano on the road in their previous encounters. The visitors are in a much better form, and we expect them to celebrate another success.
Goals Market Prediction
Their last seven league clashes stayed under a 2.5 margin, and we think the tradition might continue on Sunday evening. Therefore, the crowd shouldn’t expect to see more than two goals in total.
