Sevilla vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

• Sevilla have won just once across their first 10 games this term
• Rayo Vallecano are unbeaten in their last four matches
• The visitors have avoided defeat in three straight meetings with Sevilla, picking up two 1-1 draws

Sevilla’s slow start continues

This remains a tough season for Sevilla, who drew 2-2 with PSV in the Champions League in midweek. The Europa League winners have won only twice across their first seven La Liga matches this term, suffering four defeats.

The hosts head into Saturday’s clash with Rayo Vallecano as the favourites, but the visitors have performed well on the road this term and they could cause problems for a Sevilla side who still don’t look back to their best.

Rayo to hold firm

Sevilla are winless in their last three matches against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga, including a 1-0 defeat when the two met at this ground in October last year. Outside of that, the pair have drawn 1-1 in their other two recent clashes and Rayo’s recent form suggests they can hold out once again.

Rayo have not lost any of their last four La Liga games, while they’ve lost just twice in their first eight games this term. Those two defeats came against two of the current top seven in the table, while Rayo have lost once across four away trips to date. With Sevilla struggling, back them to stumble again off the back of midweek European clash.
