Atlético wants to continue like a Lightning for the Champions

Madrid derby in the Vallecas Stadium between Vallecano Ray and the Atletico Madrid (4:00 p.m. / Movistar LaLiga). A clash with opposing dynamics and needs for each of the two contenders. In the case of the local team, the need to escape this maelstrom of bad results that have been taking place in recent times and that has made the red-and-red team plummet to a worrying situation. Four defeats and one draw, the one registered on the last day of competition against Sevilla, which has alleviated somewhat the situation of a Rayo that in the first round had an outstanding performance, being the revelation of LaLiga.

Opposite, a Atletico Madrid that comes with the rush of qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, achieved just a few days ago before the Manchester United on Old Trafford. On the one hand, the emotional push of the rojiblancos, after a hard-fought and long-suffering achievement. But on the other hand, the wear and tear of the demanding game during the week that they had to overcome and above all, the effort of a streak of games from which those of Simeonein which Athletic He has had a good number of casualties and there have been hardly any rotations. Looking ahead to this match against Lightning, the rojiblanco team will continue to have to overcome a good number of absences. The four injured that are right now, Matheus Cunha, Daniel Wass, Sime Vrsaljko and Thomas Lemar. And the two sanctioned, Yannick Carrasco and Javier Serrano. The Belgian completes a cycle of reprimands and the youth squad was sent off with a red card in the match against Cádiz.

POSSIBLE ROTATIONS

With such a panorama, with the aforementioned effort during the week, it is foreseeable that Simeone can introduce some rotations. There is a group of footballers who add many minutes in the team’s last games. Thus, footballers like Felipe, Hermoso, Kondogbia, Correa O Suarez could enter the starting eleven. Simeone did not want to give clues in the few training sessions prior to today’s game against Vallecano Ray. The Athletic he is determined to continue with the good streak of games he has been on. Since the loss to the Levante has four wins in a row Leaguethe best streak of the team in the current course.

For its part, Iraola has four key casualties. Saveljich, Marquelanz, Unai López and Falcao. Especially in the case of Montenegrin. The good news for the Basque coach is that he has recovered the two starting wingers, Isi Palazon and Alvaro Garciawho were discharged due to a sanction against Sevilla

The main doubt lies in the goal, since throughout the season Iraola takes alternating under sticks to the French Luca Zidane and to Macedonian Stole Dimitrievskiwho was the one who acted last day.
