Atletico Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: The home team will be closer to victory

Prediction for the La Liga match which will take place on January 31. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After losing to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final, Atletico won four out of four games in the two tournaments and even managed to take revenge on the team for the Super Cup debacle by knocking Real Madrid out of the Spanish Cup. In the last two La Liga games, Atletico has two wins over Granada 1:0 and Valencia 2:0. In the standings of the Spanish championship, Atletico is in third place, having in its asset 44 points, two points less than Atletico. With the gap from the leading Girona 11 points, it is doubtful that Atletico will be able to compete with the Catalans and Real Madrid in the fight for the title this season. Atletico's home statistics are the best in the division, with ten wins, one draw, and a goal difference 25:11.

After the Spanish Cup exit from Girona, Rayo played two matches in La Liga, a defeat on their field from Las Palmas with a score of 0:2 and a zero draw with Real Sociedad. Before our match, Rayo Vallecano was in 13th place in the standings of the Spanish championship with 24 points. The gap between Cadiz and the relegation zone is 8 points. Rayo's away statistics are sixth in the division, +4=4-3, 9:8 goal difference.

In recent times, Atletico has been playing low-scoring games, and Rayo can not boast a high performance, so it is unlikely that the Madrid derby should expect a very productive match. In addition, the upcoming meeting will be held in midweek, which also favors the bookmaker's total under. As for the outcome, there is little doubt that Atletico will be able to secure victory in the upcoming game. We will not be surprised if they win another; they have already won the 4th consecutive victory with a dry score.
