Sports Betting Tips

Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano measure their strength at the Vicente Calderón Stadium, in a game for the second day of the Primera División. At this stage, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, who has recorded 3 wins in the last 3 games. In fact, the last time they faced in this stadium was the 30-04-2016, in a game for the Primera División, that ended the victory of Atletico Madrid by (1-0). The only goal of the match was scored by A. Griezmann (55 '). In this meeting, the house factor may play an important role, since Rayo Vallecano presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Analysis of Atletico Madrid

The home side arrive on Matchday 2 after a draw in their league debut against Valencia (1-1). This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside its stadium, because in the last 30 games it registers 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses as a visitor; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 home games for all competitions Atletico Madrid have won 6, drawn 2 and lost 2. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point as they conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games but their attack has scored regularly, having scored goals in 9 of the last 10 games. In the 15 games he played, he only managed 1 turnaround in 7 games in which he conceded the first goal.

Atletico de Madrid is a club that has already won the Primera Division (Spanish Championship) ten times throughout its history, having as the most recent title won in the 2013/14 season, in addition to ten titles of the Copa del Rey and three vices in the League of Champions. Last season, the team finished the national championship in the vice-leadership of the national championship, well away from the first placed and champion, Barcelona. In the last five games that Atletico Madrid played at home, counting only matches for the Spanish Championship, three of them were scored one or more goals in the first half. I believe that in this confrontation, Atletico Madrid will be able to score their goals in the first half, as they will face at home a team that has just ascended to the first division.

Analysis of Rayo Vallecano

The visiting team arrives in this second round after a defeat in their league debut against Sevilla by (1-4). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when played with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games has 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses as a visitor, with a total of 16 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in his stadium, with a total of 30 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 10 games as a visitor Rayo Vallecano won 4 and lost 6. The team conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 games, so there are defensive processes that need to be improved.

The Rayo Vallecano is a club that was champion of Liga Adelante (2ª Division) of 2017/18, obtaining thus the access for elite of the Spanish soccer, now we must wait what will be the performance of the equipment between the great ones of Spain. When we look for Rayo Vallecano's performance away from home in the 2017/18 Liga Adelante, we see that the team scored goals in more than 60% of the games, which shows a good offensive stance away from home, so we can expect a team that less attack Atletico Madrid in this premiere match of the Primera Division 2018/19. Even so, I believe in a great superiority of Atletico Madrid in this game, so I hope at least one goal in the first part of the game.

Betting Tip: 

In this game between Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano, I believe we will have a first half with at least one goal, due to the great superiority of Atletico Madrid, but also being able to count on a goal of the new champion of Liga Adelante Rayo Vallecano.
