Real Madrid doesn't joke with opportunities when they see one and i believe they will win Rayo Vallecano even if they prove stubborn to win. Kylian Mbappe scoring in their last two games was about restoring back the hopes of fans who earlier criticized him for his inability to score many goals as he does while he was playing at Paris Saint German but it's obvious he won't be available against Rayo Vallecano as a result of injury he sustained in their champions league game against Atalanta during the midweek but i don't see it as a problem for Real Madrid since Endrick and Vinicius will feature. Carlo Ancelotti has seen this opportunity as an advantage to get to the top of the table which he wouldn't want to joke with so he will definitely use any strategy to make sure his boys get all 3 points. If they play the same way they did against Girona last weekend, they will comfortably win Rayo Vallecano.
Ancelotti will do anything to get three points away from home against Real Vallecano because they do not want to lose any points now because they want to win the league this season and help Mbappe win his first La Liga title this season, as well as possibly the UCL trophy if they perform well in the Champions League. Mbappe is injured and will not be available tonight against Real Vallecano, but Madrid still has key players who are fit and will do their best to help Madrid win today, but Real Vallecano won't play at home and will most likely make the game difficult for Madrid. And madrid cannot win easily and must perform well on the pitch.
If Madrid wins today, they will overcome Barcelona in the league table. Barcelona will play tomorrow and see if they can win their next game. Ancelotti is prepared to win the second La Liga title in a row. And if Flick did not win the league, he would be a fuckup because they were performing well and giving Madrid a clear 6 point lead in the league table before losing games and drawing, bringing Madrid closer to them in the league chart. Let's see how Madrid plays tonight and if they can bring the three points home.
