Team News

Rayo Vallecano
Atletico
  • Rayo look to extend their 100% win record so far, likely with an unchanged team from the club's 2-0 victory over Granada on Monday night.
  • Andrés Martín will be out with an injury for the game against Atletico.
  • Yannick Carrasco has reportedly been feeling some physical discomfort and could be out for the clash against Rayo. Samuel Lino, who is second in the pecking order this season, could come in to replace him.
  • Simeone went with Griezmann and Depay up top last week against Betis, but both failed to score. Despite this, the two will likely keep their places.
  • Axel Witsel looks to be preferred at centre back by Simeone. He should start there.

Prediction

  • In the first Madrid derby of the La Liga 23/24 season, both unbeaten Rayo and Atletico will face off at Estadio de Vallecas.
  • Rayo last beat Atletico in 2013, so a victory for the home side would be a dramatic upset. This season, though, Rayo will be chasing European places, and manager Francísco Rodriguez will have drilled the importance of these kinds of games into dressing room for this one.
  • Atletico look as solid as ever in defence, something Simeone prides himself on. Axel Witsel in the heart of his back three encourages creating chances from playing out the back. The club managed over 65% possession in their opening games and a similar story should be expected on Monday.
  • The visitors will likely edge this one.
