Tipster’s Angle

Both the teams have had a fair share of the results in their favor, so they are in the top five of La Liga. But Atletico Madrid has dominated in the head-to-head matches, which gives the team from the capital the edge, but this match could go either way.

Tip: Both Teams To Score – No @ 1.55

Either team has kept a clean sheet in all of the last four head-to-head matches across competitions. Also, five of the last six head-to-head matches in La Liga had both teams not scoring in them. Even, three of the last four head-to-head matches hosted by Atletico Madrid had both teams not scoring. In the last ten matches that Rayo Vallecano had played across competitions, either team had kept a clean sheet. Apart from that, clean sheets were kept in two of the last three matches that Atletico played at home. So, it is likely that either team will keep a clean sheet at 1.55 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 1.85

Under 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Atletico Madrid’s previous ten matches in all competitions, while under 2.5 goals have been scored in two of their last three home encounters. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in seven of Rayo Vallecano’s previous 10 matches in all competitions. In addition, in two of Vallecano’s last three away matches, under 2.5 goals were scored. Six of the previous 10 head-to-head matchups have resulted in under 2.5 goals being scored. Aside from that, both of the head-to-head meetings played in La Liga last season had under 2.5 goals scored. At the Betway sportsbook’s 1.85 odds, it’s quite likely that no more than two goals will be scored.

Conclusion

Atletico Madrid has a lot of work to do if they were to defend their league title successfully. To begin with, they will be looking for all three points in this clash. Vallecano on the other hand has done exceptionally well and will be looking to keep its momentum.
