▶ Watch Rayo Vallecano vs Atletico Madrid live on ESPN+ today!
The hosts have failed to win any of their last five home games against Atletico de Madrid in La Liga (D1 L4), failing to score in the last four. In fact, Atletico have gone 11 straight games without losing to Rayo Vallecano in La Liga (W9 D2), their best unbeaten streak against them in the top-flight.
Diego Simeone's men are comfortably placed in the third spot with 54 points from 27 matches. They have won their last four league matches and will be hoping to make it five in a row.
On the other hand, Andoni Iraola, after Hector Nunez in 1977/78 and Jose Antonio Camacho in 1992/93, could become the third Rayo Vallecano coach to beat Atletico and Real Madrid in the same La Liga season if they get the three points.

Vallecano have a completely fit squad for the match. Iraola will be spoilt for choices and he is likely to set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Sergio Camello as the lone striker.
Raul de Tomas might feature from the bench if they are chasing the match. Whereas, Oscar Trejo, Alvaro Garcia and Isi Palazon should be the supporting cast of Camello at the start.
Memphis Depay, Reinildo and Sergio Reguilon are out injured. Angel Correa might get a start alongside Antoine Griezmann in attack at the expense of Alvaro Morata.
Meanwhile, Rodrigo De Paul should be back in the starting XI in place of Thomas Lemar.
