Our prediction for the match Atletico vs Rayo Vallecano
The representatives of Madrid did not fail last season, but, at the same time, they certainly cannot be satisfied with the result – everything ended “on the edge”. The grandee gave the way to “better” Girona, and overtook the old enemy, Athletic, not without problems (that was in the dispute for 4th place). The guests finished in 17th position last spring. Still, they got 5 points more than their neighbour, Cadiz – 38 against 33.
Speaking about the new season, both rivals have improved the game, but mainly in the first round. Inigo Perez’s wards were even considered as contenders for the European competitions, but there was a sharp decline from mid-February. The footballers won only the game against Alaves with an abundance of defeats. At the same time, they ended up the struggle with Valencia with a 1-1 draw. Radically renewed Atletico was going “nose to nose” with the main favourites, Real and Barcelona. Still, they first flew out of the Champions League on penalties, losing to their neighbour, and then scored 1 goal less in the semi-final of the cup meeting with the Catalans But in the spring (a 4-4 draw on the away field and a 0-1 result at the home arena). It is reasonable to mention that a number of misfires formed a gap in the Primera. Las Palmas even snatched a victory over Griezmann and the company in the previous round.
Diego Simeone’s wards score twice as much as they concede – 1.66 against 0.84. The guests’ ratio has now become negative – 1.09/1.22.
