Rayo Vallecano

Sevilla

The Andalusians have been imperious at home racking up a 14th straight victory at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan with a 3-0 win over Molde in the Europa League in midweek. However they are yet to win on the road in the league, a record that surely has to end soon if they are to harbour genuine hopes of catching Villarreal in the race for 4th place and the Champions League next term.

This is no easy game though against a Rayo Vallecano side that are in good form and look capable of pulling themselves away from the relegation scrap altogether. They are unbeaten in 5 league games and have taken 7 points from their last 3 outings in Vallecas with a highly impressive 3-0 win over Celta Vigo in that run too.

Reason for Betting Tips

Backing a team to win away, that hasn’t done so all season in the league at 6/5 doesn’t really appeal and Sevilla seem to have some kind of mental block when it comes to away games in La Liga right now. They will surely end that run at some point but with Rayo in good form and playing with confidence it is unlikely to be here. Therefore consider backing Rayo Vallecano Double Chance at 7/10 in this one.
