After Diego Simeone’s team put on a spectacular performance against German giants Bayern Munich and won the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Los RojiBlancos will be entering this match with high hopes to secure three vital points at home.
Atletico Madrid is leveled on the table with leaders FC Barcelona (82), as they aim to beat the away side in order to keep the pressure on the Blaugranas. Nonetheless, Torres and Co. must keep their positive momentum going if they wish to clinch the domestic title.
The visitors have been having a tough time in the Spanish league, as their last fixture against Real Madrid ended in a 3-2 loss for Los Vallecanos. Yet, despite this, sixteenth-place contenders are aiming to extend their points (35), as Paco’s lads must step up to the plate with the objective of marching out of the Vincente Calderon with a victory.
Team news - who's fit and who's not?
Diego Simeone has an almost fully fit squad heading into this match against Rayo Vallecano, as he is only missing defender Diego Godin (hamstring). However, striker Yannick Carrasco who picked up a knock to his ankle in last Saturday's league game against Málaga is still doubtful for this clash against Los Vallecanos.
Unfortunately, the injury bug has struck Paco Jemez’s team this season, as several players will miss the match against La Liga’s co-leaders. Strikers Patrick Ebert (achilles), Piti (ankle) and central defender Ze Castro(muscle) will all have to be sidelined for this game. In addition, goalkeepers David Cobeno (back) and Tono(ligament) will also sit out of this league fixture against Los Rojiblancos.
