They enter this fixture after a 2-0 home win against Alaves two weeks ago. They have lost just 1 fixture in the last seven games and also progressed to Round of 32 in Copa del Rey.
Rayo are just 1 point above today’s opponents so a win will be crucial for both Diego Simeone and Andoni Iraola. Atletico Madrid can’t afford to lose any points going into the second half of the season if they wish to finish this season with European qualification. Both teams are facing the Covid-19 outbreak this week, with the likes of Joao Felix, Radmel Falcao, Alvaro Garcia, Koke, and Hector Herrera set to miss this clash. But the biggest blow for the Capital giants is their manager Diego Simeone will sit this one out after testing positive for the Covid-19.
Atletico Madrid have won all five meetings against Rayo Vallecano but will face a tough challenge on much-changed Rayo.
