Atlético Madrid head into this weekend’s clash desperate to reassert their dominance after a mixed run of results. Diego Simeone’s side, known for their defensive solidity, have looked shaky in recent weeks, and this home fixture against Rayo Vallecano could be the perfect opportunity to bounce back.
Rayo, on the other hand, have struggled away from home, scoring just 3 goals in their last 5 league outings. Their attacking problems will be magnified against a typically resilient Atlético defense.
📊 Key Stats
- Atlético are unbeaten in their last 10 league games against Rayo.
- Simeone’s men have conceded just 5 goals at home this season.
- Rayo have lost 4 of their last 5 away matches.
✅ Prediction
Atlético Madrid 2–0 Rayo Vallecano
Atlético’s home advantage and Rayo’s scoring issues make this a straightforward prediction. Expect a cagey game, but the home side should edge it with goals from Morata or Griezmann.
💡 Betting Tips
- Bet on: Atlético Madrid win to nil
- Alternative bet: Under 2.5 goals
2️⃣ Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest (Europa League)
Match Date: Thursday
🔎 Match Preview
A fascinating European clash awaits as Real Betis host Nottingham Forest. The Spanish side, under Manuel Pellegrini, are experienced in continental football and rarely lose at home.
Forest, meanwhile, are back in Europe after nearly 30 years, and while Ange Postecoglou has injected belief and attacking flair into the squad, this will be a stern test of their progress.
📊 Key Stats
- Betis have won 5 of their last 6 home games in Europe.
- Nottingham Forest are playing their first European game since 1996.
- Both teams have scored in 7 of Betis’ last 10 matches.
✅ Prediction
Real Betis 2–1 Nottingham Forest
Forest will battle hard and likely score, but Betis’ European experience and home support should carry them to victory.
💡 Betting Tips
- Bet on: Both teams to score
- Alternative bet: Betis to win & over 2.5 goals
3️⃣ Barcelona vs Real Oviedo (La Liga)
Match Date: Sunday
🔎 Match Preview
Barcelona return to Montjuïc for a La Liga clash with newly promoted Real Oviedo. The Catalan giants have been inconsistent, but the quality of their squad should shine through against opponents still finding their feet in the top flight.
With injuries piling up — including Gavi sidelined until 2026 — Barça will rely heavily on Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, and their forward line, which could feature Rashford, Raphinha, or Lewandowski.
Real Oviedo are defensively organized but have struggled to create chances, especially against top sides.
📊 Key Stats
- Barcelona have won 7 of their last 8 La Liga matches at Montjuïc.
- Oviedo have conceded at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 6 away games.
- Barça have scored 2+ goals in 10 of their last 12 league home matches.
✅ Prediction
Barcelona 3–0 Real Oviedo
A comfortable win looks likely. Expect possession dominance, waves of attacks, and Oviedo unable to cope with Barça’s intensity.
💡 Betting Tips
- Bet on: Barcelona win with over 2.5 goals
- Alternative bet: Barcelona clean sheet
