Prediction: 3-1
Rayo Vallecano
Atletico Madrid take on their local rivals Rayo Vallecano in their first home game of the season. Los Rojiblanos did well to beat Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup and seeing that the club chiefs did well to reinforce the squad in the summer, the last season’s runners-up are eager to go all the way in the Spanish top flight this term. Atletico Madrid are a real force to be reckoned with at home and we predict Diego Costa and Co. are going to prove their worth on the field in Saturday’s local derby. Rayo are eager to prove their worth on their return to La Liga, but seeing that los Rojiblancos are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Diego Simeone’s troops, who aim to regain the domestic trophy.
