Atlético Madrid got goals from Antoine Griezmann (23′), Yannick Carrasco (49′), and Thomas Lemar (67′). In recent matches, Valencia’s front line has really struggled. During their last six matches, they have scored just three goals against other teams.

Valencia vs Rayo Vallecano Team news :
Last time out, Valencia was without four injured players against Atletico, and this will be the case again for Monday’s game at Camp Nou. Toni Lato, Gabriel Paulista, Marcos Andre, and Jaume Domenech are still out, but Los Che doesn’t have any new concerns.
llaix Moriba, Samuel Lino, Andre Almeida, and Edinson Cavani could all make their way into the starting XI from the team that started against Atletico Madrid before the international break. Ivan Balliu, 31, will return to action for Rayo on Monday night after serving the suspension that kept him out of last week’s match against Girona.
Balliu for Mario Hernandez may be the only substitution from the team that started against Girona because the capital club does not have any injuries to worry about heading into this game. Although Raul de Tomas could start in the final third of the field, Sergio Camello is likely to start as the only center forward once more.
