Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Madrid will clash on Sunday afternoon in a Spanish La Liga matchup at Estadio de Vallecas. The Los Franjirrojos will be looking to end their three-game slide with a morale-boosting win against Atletico. In their last assignment, they managed to put up an impressive fight against Real Madrid on the road, losing 2-1, courtesy of a stoppage-time penalty kick by Kylian Mbappe. This performance should motivate them to fight hard on Sunday.
Atletico Madrid, on the other end of the pitch, have looked shaky recently, having won just twice in their last five matches. They lost 1-0 to fifth-placed Real Betis at home on Sunday last week, with former Manchester United winger, Antony, scoring the only goal in the 28th minute. Diego Simeone’s side tried hard but couldn’t unlock the visitors, who had just four shots on target. They’ll be eager to recover from this defeat on Sunday.

Our Rayo Vallecano vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Atletico Madrid will come into this matchup as the warm -114 betting favorites, which is an exciting price. They have an impeccable record against the hosts, having gone unbeaten in their last 15 clashes, winning 11 of them. However, their previous two meetings have ended in a 3-1 win for Atletico and a 1-1 draw, with Rayo Vallecano playing both games on the road. The hosts, who are 18th in the standings with 22 points, will be under pressure to win and move out of the red zone. A win could also take them to position 13 if results favor them. Still, we see them losing 2-1 or 3-1 to the highly talented visitors.
Our prediction for Rayo Vallecano vs Atletico Madrid: Over 2.5 goals.
