125%(4.50)
X30%(3.60)
245%(1.79)

Atlético Madrid are displaying significantly higher form and quality than Rayo Vallecano. The hosts are only in 18th place in the table with a disastrous series of 4 losses in their last 5 matches and a mere 20% home win rate. Rayo have scored only 4 goals in their last 5 games, conceding as many as 11. Atlético, sitting in 3rd place in the league, boast a much better goal difference (+20 this season vs Rayo's -12) and solid defensive numbers with a 36% clean sheet rate away from home. Although Atlético's away form shows a tendency for draws (45%), their qualitative advantage and offensive firepower (38 goals this season) should translate into a victory. The hosts' poor form and their scoring issues (30% of home matches without a goal) further increase the visitors' chances of taking all three points.
