Atlético is at the foot of the wall. After a new seasonless season, the second Madrid club started this 2025-26 campaign with a revengeful spirit, but it started on a very bad series. To the point that the match against Rayo Vallecano, this Wednesday evening, already looks like a final joker. Modest twelfth of Liga, the team of Diego Simeone is very far from its two usual rivals, Real Madrid and Barça, which already carbon at the top of the table.
With 3 defeats in the last 6 games, Atlético therefore has an answer to give, but the Colchoneros will not have to underestimate their opponent of the day. Rayo Vallecano is not a snoring name and swimming in the same waters in the classification (fourteenth of Liga), but Julian Alvarez and his teammates should come up against a low and compact block which will strengthen the need to play. A configuration in which they have still shown limits.
The expected compos
Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Hancko; Simeone, Koke, Barrios, Gallagher; Raspadori, Alvarez.
Rayo Vallecano: Batalla; Ratiu, Ciss, Lejeune, Espino; Valentin, Diaz; De Frutos, Palazon, Garcia; Camello.
