Atletico Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano Match Overview – 24.09.2025
Atletico Madrid faces Rayo Vallecano at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in the Spanish capital in a match from La Liga’s sixth round. It’d be a good idea to stay with us and our upcoming High-odds football predictions this weekend.
Atletico Madrid have one of the worst starts of the season under the management of Diego Simeone. So far Los Colchoneros have just one win in five La Liga matches which leaves them at 12th place with 6 points won. Atleti are currently 9 points behind the leader Real Madrid and that’s not good at all.
Meanwhile Rayo Vallecano are two positions behind Atletico in the table – 14th with 5 points won. We can say that these two teams are performing in a similar way since the beginning of the 2025/26 campaign.
Atletico Madrid News & Analysis
Atletico Madrid’s manager Diego Simeone is aware that his team is not performing well enough this season. The Argentine head coach is experienced enough to see that things are not going well, despite the club signing some quality players in the summer.
Last weekend Atletico once again lost two points. The capital club faced Mallorca away from home, but only got a point after a 1-1 draw in Palma. Conor Gallagher put Atletico ahead, but soon after that Muriqi equalised for the hosts. Atletico ended the game with 10 men on the pitch as Alexander Sorloth got sent off in the second half.
Looking for solutions, Cholo Simeone could make changes in his line-up once again. Antoine Griezmann is expected to return in the line-up while Conor Gallagher could feature as well after his goal against Mallorca. Obviously Sorloth won’t play because of his suspension.
Rayo Vallecano News & Analysis
Just like Atletico Madrid, Rayo Vallecano got a point after a 1-1 draw in their last game against Celta Vigo at home. The visiting team scored the first one, but Rayo’s star Jorge de Frutos scored the equaliser in the middle of the second half.
Rayo Vallecano are a good team under the management of Inigo Perez, but the start of the season was not perfect for them as well. Now they are facing Atletico in a moment when Los Colchoneros are hurt – can they pull the trigger here? We are about to see.
