Rayo Vallecano - Sevilla betting tips and odds

With 2.50 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing Rayo Vallecano who should end up victorious in the end against Sevilla.

While Sevilla may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.25 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

The hosts will lack no confidence heading into the Sunday clash. They are coming off from a hard-fought draw (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY) which could have even been an away victory had Rayo Vallecano been able to hold on to the first-half lead.

Sevilla had a lot going for them as they entered their previous La Liga bout, with both home-field advantage and considerably shorter odds to win than their opponents. As such, the 2:0 HT/FT victory wasn’t much of a surprise, but it will be interesting to see if their form keeps up while playing away.

Rayo Vallecano’s last five La Liga appearances all ended with less than two goals on the final tally. With that in mind, an Under 2.5 Goals market might be something to consider.

The Sevillistas fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 6 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

The home team in this game are number 6th on the standings, which is decent but not enough to get them a European League qualification. The good news is that they have plenty of time to improve their results. The bad news is that this match won’t be easy for them at all.

Sevilla displayed relatively shaky form in the 22 games they’ve appeared in so far. They’re dangerously close to the bottom of the table, placing at number 12th in the standings. Such placement makes the difficult matchup in Estadio de Vallecas even more concerning for their supporters.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this La Liga season, the hosts already recorded a victory over The Sevillistas. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

On Sunday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The bet365 sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1.62, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
