Kicking off a week of derbies
The Rojiblancos take on Rayo Vallecano at 21:30 CEST on Wednesday for the first of two local derbies at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano this week.
On Wednesday, Atleti play in the first of two Madrid derbies at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano this week. Simeone’s men host Rayo Vallecano at 21:30 CEST on matchday 6 in LALIGA ahead of Saturday’s clash with Real Madrid.
Last time out, the Rojiblancos drew 1-1 away at Mallorca. Atleti took the lead through Gallagher after Sørloth was sent off, but the three points slipped from their grasp as Muriqi equalised in the 85th minute. We currently sit in twelfth position in the league table.
Rayo Vallecano also drew their last game. De Frutos’ equaliser against Celtas leaves Ínigo Pérez’s team in 14th place on five points.
In last season’s home game against Rayo, the Rojiblancos won 3-0 thanks for goals from Sørloth, Gallagher and Julián Alvarez.
