Preview: Rayo Vallecano vs Atlético Madrid Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2025-26

The previous outing between these clubs ended in favour of Atleti.

Rayo Vallecano are now going to have a face-off against Atlético Madrid for their matchweek 24 contest of the 2025-26 LaLiga. This is going to be an interesting outing, taking place at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.

Los Franjirrojos have performed poorly in their last four matches and are likely to struggle in their upcoming outing as well. They were outplayed by Real Madrid in their previous league outing. Despite being at home, Rayo Vallecano will not be fully confident due to their current run of form.

Los Colchoneros are coming in after putting up a strong performance against FC Barcelona in their first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal. They secured a 4-0 win and will be keen to come up with a similar performance in their upcoming LaLiga contest. Atletico Madrid are in third place on the league table and are most likely out of the title race.

Players to Watch

Jorge de Frutos (Rayo Vallecano)

Jorge de Frutos was the sole goal scorer for Rayo Vallecano against Los Blancos, but it was not enough to get them a win. He will be looking to step up his game yet again and come up with a top performance so that he can help his side stand a chance against Atleti. In 20 league games of the ongoing campaign, he has scored seven goals and has an assist to his name.

Ademola Lookman (Atlético Madrid)

Ademola Lookman was once again on the scoresheet for Los Colchoneros and is yet again going to play an important role in the attacking front. He is a new addition to the squad and has come up with good performances as of now. With the ball at his feet, Lookman will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
