Sevilla

WLWWLL

Sevilla will be hoping to bounce back here following the 1-0 La Liga defeat last time out to Leganés.

In that game, Sevilla had 57% possession and 13 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. At the other end, Leganes had 8 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Miguel de la Fuente (82') scored for Leganés.

A common feature of more recent Sevilla games is the number of nil scores.

From their previous six clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a losing one. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, of course.

Heading into this contest, Sevilla are unbeaten in the league by Rayo Vallecano in their last 3 games.

Rayo Vallecano

Since a losing effort in their last game against UD Las Palmas in La Liga action, Rayo Vallecano and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Rayo Vallecano had 65% possession and 33 shots on goal with 6 on target. The scorer for Rayo Vallecano was Aridane Hernández (62' Own goal). Las Palmas got 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Fábio Silva (6'), Manu Fuster (67') and Scott McKenna (92' Own goal) scored for UD Las Palmas.

Iñigo Pérez's Rayo Vallecano have slotted home 10 times in the course of their previous 6 matches. The overall goals that they have conceded during that period comes to 6.

Going into this one, Rayo Vallecano have not lost to Sevilla in away games against them for the last 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Sevilla

Stanis Idumbo (Right hip flexor problems), José Ángel Carmona (Hip injury), Chidera Ejuke (Hamstring injury), Ørjan Nyland (Torn lateral knee ligament), Saúl Ñíguez (Hip injury) and Tanguy Nianzou (Hamstring injury) won’t be available for Sevilla gaffer Francisco García Pimienta.

In our view, Sevillistas will probably opt for a 4-3-3 system in the match and select Alvaro Fernandez, Jose Angel Carmona, Loic Bade, Marcao, Adria Pedrosa, Djibril Sow, Nemanja Gudelj, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Dodi Lukebakio, Isaac Romero and Gerard Fernandez.

📋 Team News: Rayo Vallecano

In an otherwise full-strength group of players, there’s only the one fitness worry for the Rayo Vallecano boss Iñigo Pérez to be concerned about. Alfonso Espino (Broken fibula) won’t be in action.

We’re of the thinking that Franjirrojos will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Augusto Batalla, Andrei Ratiu, Florian Lejeune, Abdul Mumin, Pep Chavarria, Unai Lopez, Oscar Valentin, Isi Palazon, Jorge de Frutos, Alvaro Garcia and Sergio Camello.

💡 Prediction

We envisage that Rayo Vallecano should have enough to put a goal past this Sevilla outfit, but that possibly won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re predicting both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for Sevilla by the conclusion of the game. Should be an interesting one.
