Atletico Madrid have endured a miserable couple of months which began with UEFA Champions League elimination at the Round of 16 stage on penalties to Real Madrid before a Copa del Rey semi-final defeat to Barcelona.
Diego Simeone’s Los Rojiblancos have also managed just two victories in six La Liga matches to knock them out of the title race after they were beaten in last-gasp fashion by Las Palmas in the Canary Islands at the weekend.
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup: Oblak; Llorente, Gimenez, Le Normand, Galan; Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Alvarez, Griezmann
Rayo Vallecano possible starting lineup: Batalla; Ratiu, Lejeune, Ciss, Chavarria; Valentin, Lopez; De Frutos, Diaz, Garcia; Nteka
Antoine Griezmann for Atletico and Radamel Falcao for Rayo will undoubtedly influence the match's dynamics significantly. As both teams prepare for this encounter, tactical nuances will be critical in determining the outcome.
Diego Simeone led Wednesday's training session with a full squad under the Madrid sunlight. Perhaps most notably, he rehearsed the same strike partnership that featured last weekend in the Canary Islands. Julián Alvarez and Alexander Sørloth both had big chances saved in the first half of last week's game, and will keep their spots in the starting lineup. This means we'll see Antoine Griezmann start from the bench for a second consecutive week.
Atletico's frustrating form may be offset by their strong home record; they should overcome a Rayo side that has lost three of its last four La Liga away games.
