Atletico Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano: Atletico to win with perseverance

Atletico Madrid host Rayo Vallecano in-game week 20 of the La Liga. Will Atletico Madrid finally end their four-match losing streak?

Atletico Madrid are on a four-match losing streak coming into this game. This has done a significant blow to their title hopes this season. They have always relied on their defense to put up a great show but they have conceded 22 goals in 18 matches already in this season. Having gained only one point in the whole of December, they would look to start a new year on a positive note.

Rayo are having a massive corona outbreak in their squad at the moment but as things stand, the match will go on. They are having an outstanding season this year having won nine games and are currently in the top four, one point above Atletico. They will be missing a number of important players in this match but they would want to continue their fantastic season in the new year.

• Rayo Vallecano have not won any of their last five meetings against Atletico Madrid;
• Atletico Madrid have not lost any of the first games of the calendar year in the last 12 games.

We are expecting Atletico Madrid to win this match and will be the first to score the first 2 goals and will Race to two goals for 1.62. We are expecting a high-scoring match with total goals above 2.5 for 1.90. Alternatively, we are expecting only Atletico Madrid to score, due to the unavailability of a few places for Rayo for 1.95.
