Atlético Madrid Rayo Vallecano betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be the occurrence of few goals. In addition to the two teams showing some difficulties from an offensive point of view, the “Less than 2.5 Goals” market won in 5 of the last 6 matches between Atlético Madrid and Rayo Vallecano. Thus, we expect some caution from both sides and few scoring opportunities.

Preview
Atlético and Vallecano face at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, in a match for the 19th round of the Primera División. In the last 3 years these teams met twice: the earliest head‑to‑head was played on 16‑02‑2019 and ended in a (0‑1) win by Atlético Madrid, and the latest on 25‑08‑2018, which ended in a (1‑0) win by Atlético Madrid. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 5th and 4th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 9th best team in home matches and the 16th best in away matches.

Analysis Atlético

The home team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 29 points won, after 8 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Sevilla, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Granada, by (2‑1). This is a team that maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since they have had similar results in both conditions. For the league, Atlético won 15 points out of 24 possible points, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in the last 8 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 18 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Atlético Madrid comes unmotivated for this match after a defeat, by 2-1, in the trip to Granada, thus adding the fourth consecutive defeat in this La Liga: the only goal of the team was signed by João Félix. The home team usually plays in a 3-5-2, favoring a more leisurely style of play, attacking through the side aisles. The two arrows aimed at the “enemy's” goal will be Luis Suárez and João Félix, with midfielder Rodrigo de Paul being responsible for defining and leading his team's attacks. Out of this game are Antoine Griezmann, Stefan Savic and Marcos Llorente, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Jan Oblak, Kieran Trippier, José Giménez, Renan Lodi, Hermoso, Thomas Lemar, Yannick Carrasco, Rodrigo De Paul, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Luis Suárez, Ángel Correa.
Coach: D. Simeone.

Analysis Vallecano

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 30 points won, after 9 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Villarreal, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Deportivo Alavés, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 5 points in away matches and 25 points at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 3 goals conceded at home, against 7 goals scored and 15 conceded in away matches. Their last away match was for the Copa del Rey and ended in a win by (1‑3) against Bergantiños. In the last 9 away league matches Vallecano has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 27 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 away matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Rayo Vallecano comes motivated for this match after a 2-0 victory against Deportivo Alavés, thus returning to triumphs in La Liga after the defeat against Villarreal: the team's goals were signed by Catena and Sergi Guardiola. Usually, the outsiders choose to play in a traditional 4-3-3, where the three most advanced players are Álvaro García, Isi Palazon and Sergi Guardiola. By playing against a superior opponent, it is expected that the visiting team will adopt a more defensive posture, with the objective of not getting unbalanced. Coach Andoni Iraola will be without Martín Merquelanz due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Luca Zidane, Kevin Rodrigues, Nikola Maraš, Esteban Saveljich, Fran García, Ivan Balliu, Unai López, Óscar Valentín, Isi Palazón, Santi Comesaña, Sergi Guardiola.
Coach: F. Rodríguez Vílchez.
