Sevilla vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

Away woes to continue for Rayo

Sevilla should be backed to get a home win over Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. The visitors have lost five times in their last seven away games in the league and Matias Almeyda’s side can take advantage.

Rayo Vallecano are 12th in the table, one place above Sevilla, but both teams have lost more games than they have won this season. Rayo have seven wins and ten defeats, while Sevilla have won eight and lost 12 of their 26 games.

Sevilla have only lost one of their last seven matches in the Primera Liga and have gone unbeaten in nine of the last ten head-to-head meetings with Rayo Vallecano.

They have found the net in their last seven league games, although they only managed to score once in four of those.

Rayo Vallecano’s current form is underwhelming, with no wins in any of their last seven Primera Liga away games.

The visitors have been vulnerable defensively of late, with Rayo Vallecano failing to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last ten league games. They have shipped 22 goals on the road this season, an average of 1.69 per game from 13 away matches.

A 1-0 win for Sevilla looks like a decent correct-score option. Three of the hosts’ last four Primera Liga matches have produced under 2.5 goals and five of their eight victories this season have been by one goal.
