Rayo Vallecano hosts Atletico Madrid in round 29 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, March 19th at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid)
On March 13, Rayo Vallecano hosted Sevilla, and the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Thus, the Red Sashes managed to break a streak of six defeats in a row. However, the streak without victories in LaLiga continues, and now it amounts to nine rounds (seven defeats and two draws). Andoni Iraola’s men are on the 13th line in the standings with 32 points after 27 rounds. At the same time, they have one game in hand (against Barcelona). In the last five home matches, Rayo Vallecano did not gain a single victory: three losses and two draws. However, the overall home statistics of the team still look pretty decent: eight wins, three draws, and three defeats with a goal difference of 21-10. Eight out of 14 home games ended with Under 2.5 goals scored.

On March 15, Atletico Madrid played against Manchester United in the Champions League. Diego Simeone's men showed their typical football, defending most of the time. Still, they managed to convert one scoring chance and won 0-1. The goal was scored by Renan Lodi. The capital team is also doing well in LaLiga. The Mattress Makers managed to score 51 points and returned to the Champions League zone. Atlético shares third place with Barcelona, which has the same number of points but has a game in hand. The Indians gained four victories in the last four matches of the Spanish championship. Beyond that, they scored at least two goals in each of those games. The away statistics of Atletico Madrid are quite mediocre: six victories, three draws, and five defeats with a goal difference of 27-23.
In the first half of the current season, the Mattress Makers confidently beat Rayo Vallecano at home (2-0). The last five head-to-head matches between Rayo and Atlético Madrid ended with no more than two goals scored. Even though the Indians are in good shape and in excellent spirits, I cannot say that Rayo Vallecano has no chance of winning. Yes, the Red Sashes have not gained a single victory in the last five home matches. Nevertheless, a week ago they stopped Sevilla at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (1-1), once again confirming that they remain an uncompromising home team. I think both clubs will manage to score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
