- Kickoff: 20:30 UK / 21:30 CEST
- Venue: Riyadh Air Metropolitano
Atletico Madrid’s hopes of lifting the La Liga title at the end of the season are gradually fading, but despite the unfortunate circumstances, they must not stop believing and must win their remaining games. On Thursday, Atletico host Rayo Vallecano at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, where they have lost just once in their last ten games, with their only defeat coming against league leaders Barcelona.
In the last round, the hosts suffered an unfortunate defeat against Las Palmas when they conceded a goal in stoppage time and lost 1-0. Rayo Vallecano, on the other hand, picked up their first point after two consecutive defeats with a 1-1 draw against Valencia.
Atletico Madrid - Rayo Vallecano Betting Tips: Atletico Madrid to Win
With six match days remaining in the season, Atletico Madrid have slowly bowed out of the title race after losing 1-0 to Las Palmas at the weekend. As the defeat came unexpectedly in stoppage time after two consecutive wins, we firmly believe that Atletico have too much attacking quality for Rayo Vallecano’s defence, which has failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 consecutive head-to-head games, to cope.
What's more, Rayo Vallecano have won just once in their last nine league games, while Atletico are doing very well at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano with just one defeat from their last 10 games. For this reason, we expect Atletico to beat Rayo Vallecano on Thursday.
