Sevilla will try to get back to winning ways in La Liga when they face Rayo Vallecano at home on Saturday night.

Rayo Vallecano are now ranked 10th in La Liga and have looked impressive thus far this season. 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 place 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.

Prediction

Sevilla 1-1 Rayo Vallecano

This season, Sevilla has fallen short of expectations and is in desperate 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 draw.
