This weekend in the LALIGA EA SPORTS go hot. Two derbies in Madrid, and both fixtures are key in the European and title race

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano and Getafe CF vs Atlético de Madrid are coming up in Matchday 27 of LALIGA EA SPORTS, two key fixtures as these four clubs chase silverware or a continental ticket.

Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano, Getafe CF and Atlético de Madrid are all based in the Community of Madrid and they’ll all face off amongst themselves during LALIGA EA SPORTS Matchday 27. Los Merengues and Los Vallecanos will meet at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday, while Los Azulones and Los Colchoneros will do so in the Coliseum the same day.

Real Madrid face one of their toughest opponents of the past few seasons:

Los Blancos have managed to beat Rayo Vallecano on just one of the last five occasions they have met. Carlos Ancelotti’s side will need to turn the tide and take all three points if they are not to fall too far behind the leaders in the title race, especially since Real Madrid have recorded just one win in their last five league games, with two draws and two defeats.

Iñigo Pérez’s men will be looking to achieve a victory at Real Madrid’s stadium for the first time since January 21st 1996, which is their only win so far at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.

The latest duel between Vinícius and Andrei Rațiu:

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano is a game with many quality players, especially on Los Blancos’ left flank and the visitors’ right. That’s where Vinícius and Andrei Rațiu will do battle, and they’re both so quick at the same time as possessing the quality to be considered among the best in their position in the competition.

Atlético de Madrid want to keep up their good run at the Coliseum:

When it comes to Atlético de Madrid, they’ll be looking to continue their great run of form at Getafe CF’s stadium, where they haven’t lost since November 6th 2011, a 3-2 defeat. Since that match, Los Colchoneros haven’t lost against Los Azulones at all, with the southern Madrid side only managing four draws in that time, two at home and two at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Every other time, Diego Simone’s side have won, and sometimes quite convincingly.

Bordalás takes on his Kryptonite:

José Bordalás is a coach who has managed to beat almost all the other tacticians he has faced in Spain’s top division, but there is one who has always been tough to crack. That is none other than Diego Simeone, who is particularly good at facing Getafe CF, as he usually knows how to counteract their tactics at all times. The overall record between the two coaches is 11 wins for Simeone, three draws and no wins for Bordalás, with 29 goals scored for Atleti and just eight conceded, including the two matches they played when he was in charge of Valencia CF. 

It promises to be a fascinating weekend in Madrid, with two derbies on the same matchday and with all four clubs having a lot to play for. LALIGA EA SPORTS has been so tight throughout the campaign and two competitive derbies await.
