Prediction: 3-1
Rayo Vallecano
There will be fireworks when Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano face each other in the local derby at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Valencia, with the team dropping to third place in the standings. Carlo Ancelotti’s men, though, have a chance to overtake Atletico Madrid in second place and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the fellow capital club. Vinicius Junior is banned for the match, while both Mariano Diaz and Eden Hazard remain in the recovery room.
Los Vallecanos, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table. Considering that Rayo experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back losses to Betis (1-3) and Espanyol (1-2), which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Madrid.
