In the La Liga rankings, Rayo Vallecano is presently in 10th position and has performed admirably thus far this year. The Madrid-based team easily defeated Cadiz 5-1 last week and will be confident going into this match.
Sevilla, on the other hand, is now in 16th position in the league table and has had an unexpectedly bad season. This week, the Andalusian giants easily overcame FC Copenhagen 3-0, and they will want to repeat that performance this weekend.
Sevilla vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction
This season, Sevilla has fallen short of expectations and is in dire need of a boost. The hosts had moments of brilliance against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League, and now they must save their La Liga season.
When Rayo Vallecano is playing well, they are more than capable of pulling off an unexpected victory. On paper, both sides are evenly suited, and this weekend’s game can finish in a tie.
