Atletico Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano prediction 31.01.2024

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: 31st January 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Civitas Metropolitan Stadium, Madrid

On Wednesday night, Atlético Madrid will host Rayo Vallecano in hopes of securing three points to solidify their position in the La Liga table’s top four.

It appears that the hosts may experience a similar situation to last season. Diego Simeone’s team only found their rhythm in the second half of the 2022-23 season, and currently, the pattern seems to be repeating. They have only lost one out of their three league games so far in 2024.

Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano has been off to a less than stellar start this year, managing to claim victory in only one of their three league games so far. In addition, they have been eliminated from the Copa del Rey. While their opponents are eyeing a spot in the top four and possibly the title, Los Franjirrojos are among the La Liga teams whose primary goal is to stave off relegation. Francisco’s team has successfully achieved this in the past three seasons and are well-placed to do so again.

Atlético Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano Betting Tips: Atlético to win

The Civitas Metropolitan Stadium has proven to be a stronghold for Atlético Madrid in the current season. Los Colchoneros remain undefeated at home in La Liga, with ten victories and one draw in their eleven games this season. Additionally, Atletico has a remarkable track record when playing against Vallecano.

In their last eight league matches against each other, Rayo Vallecano has managed to secure only a single point. They also suffered a heavy loss of 0-7 in their most recent encounter. Francisco’s team has been performing poorly on the road recently, failing to win four out of their last five away league matches. They also failed to score in an equivalent number of games.
