It has been a slow start to the 2023-24 season for Sevilla, but they will have the ideal chance to get back on track when they host Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. Both sides will be looking to get back to winning ways after dropping points in the previous round.
La Liga Preview
Sevilla have made another slow start to the La Liga season this term, but they have the chance to get back on track this weekend. The Spanish giants currently sit 14th in the standings, but they could end the latest round in the bottom three if results go against them this weekend.
Sevilla come into this fixture after losing four of their opening seven matches, with two defeats coming in their last five. However, things did appear to be improving after going three without defeat before last weekend. But, they were brought back down to earth against Barcelona on Friday evening, as they suffered a 1-0 defeat on the road. The only goal was scored with 14 minutes remaining, as Sergio Ramos put the ball into his own net.
Rayo Vallecano have been incredibly challenging to beat over the opening months of the season, as they have lost just twice in their opening eight matches. However, they remain outside of the European spots in the standings after they have won just three times this term.
Draws have been a recurring issue in recent weeks, as they have been held in each of their last three matches. Still, they are unbeaten across their last four in La Liga. Their most recent draw was picked up in dramatic fashion against Mallorca, as Radamel Falcao scored a penalty in the 12th minute of injury time.
Sevilla vs Rayo Vallecano Head to Head
Sevilla has a really strong record in this fixture, as they have won ten of the last 15 league meetings between the sides. However, they have gone three without a victory against Vallecano, with two matches over that period ending in a draw. This exact fixture last season saw the visitors land a famous 1-0 win.
Sevilla vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction
Vallecano have been very challenging to beat in recent months, and we expect them to put in a strong effort against Sevilla this weekend. Therefore, we could see the draw being the most likely outcome between the sides in La Liga on Saturday.
