The good moment of the mattress forward
Antoine Griezmann and Álvaro Morata are in one of the most fruitful moments of their careers. Both forwards have scored 24 goals for Atlético de Madrid in the current edition of the Spanish League. Additionally, the two players contributed to more than 50% of the goals the team has scored, either by scoring or providing an assist.
Morata, who is fourth in the scoring table with 13 goals, has become the most efficient forward of the red and white squad. On Griezmann’s side, the Frenchman achieved a historical record for the Madrid team, surpassing Luis Aragonés as the top scorer in the entire history of the club with 173 goals. This highlights the great moment that those led by Diego Simeone are going through, who will be in charge of the team at least until the end of the season.
In the Spanish League, the locals have scored 2 goals or more in 9 games played at home. Taking into account these arguments and the great moment the team is going through in general, it is expected that playing at the Civitas Metropolitano Atlético de Madrid will continue with that positive streak.

The present of Rayo Vallecano
Rayo Vallecano is currently going through an irregular moment. In the Spanish League they are in thirteenth place and their main objective is to stay in the top category. However, the low productivity in terms of goals and the poor results have accumulated and they continue to approach the red zone.
The last time Rayo Vallecano beat Atlético de Madrid as a visitor was in October 2001, on that occasion for the 32nd round of the Copa del Rey. This demonstrates the absolute paternity that exists on the part of ‘Atleti’ in the history between both teams.
As far as games and cards are concerned, in their last 3 matches the Vallecas team has received more than 2 yellow cards per game. While, on the Atlético de Madrid side, the Colchoneros average 3 yellow cards per game. This ensures that for this match fouls and contact will be a determining factor when defining who will get the three points on matchday 20 of the Spanish League.
