Atletico Madrid are regrouping after their challenge concluded on three separate fronts since the beginning of last month. They are anticipating a morale-boosting derby victory against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Thursday. The Atletico Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano game will kick off at 20:30 UK Time.
The tactical discipline and home field advantage that Diego Simeone’s team is renowned for have persisted throughout the season. Three wins in their past six home matches attest to Atlético’s continued difficulty as a road squad. But following a disheartening 1-0 defeat to Las Palmas, which dampened their momentum a little, they will be seeking to recover. Los Rojiblancos will be looking to get back on track after Antoine Griezmann and Rodrigo de Paul returned to the starting lineup and there were no injuries to report.
Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano’s form has been all over the place. The team from Madrid has lost three of their past four league matches while on the road. Even if they got some relief from their 1-1 draw with Valencia, Andoni Iraola’s squad will need a huge showing to beat Atlético at home.
