Atleti, to consolidate their strength against a Rayo looking for revenge
Atlético de Madrid is preparing to host Rayo Vallecano at the Metropolitano, in a duel where the Colchoneros will seek to extend their historical dominance over the Franjirrojo team. Atleti has accumulated 15 undefeated matches against Rayo in the League, a streak they hope to maintain with the support of their fans.
However, derbies are always special, and Atleti will try to break a streak of three games without a win in these matches. For its part, Rayo Vallecano will seek to surprise and add important points in their visit to the Metropolitano.
Although historically it has been difficult for them to score points on Rojiblanco territory, the team arrives with the motivation of having drawn in the first leg match. A win against Atleti would be a great boost for Rayo.
Players like Alexander Sørloth, with a favorable scoring record against Rayo, are key pieces in Cholo Simeone’s scheme. The Argentine coach, by the way, has a very positive balance as a local against Rayo, with a high percentage of victories. Atleti trusts in their solidity at home and in the push of their people to add three vital points and continue to strengthen their position in the top places in the standings. Aúpa Atleti!
