Sevilla - Rayo Vallecano predictions

Though Sevilla are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

From the present perspective, the situation is evident. Considering the strength of Sevilla and the fact that Rayo Vallecano are given 3.31 odds to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a remarkable surprise.

The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the narrow away defeat they recorded in the last $LEGUE round (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY). If there are any positives to be taken from their previous game then it must be the fact The Sevillistas held rather well for the first 45 minutes.

Having conceded early in the match, Rayo Vallecano trailed at the halftime of their previous league match against Las Palmas but did nothing to get back in the game after the break. In the end, a heavy 1:3 home defeat is bound to leave a dent in their confidence ahead of the Sunday clash.

The last 3 times we saw The Sevillistas play as the away team, they had serious issues stopping the ball from getting into their net, conceding more than 5 times. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck at home.

The hosts are coming into this match as number 13th in the standings. Wrestling away 3 points in this game will not be easy, but it would get them closer to a Europa League qualification.

Though it’s hard to say Rayo Vallecano started the season on a strong note, their fairly decent table position is at risk. Beating The Sevillistas will be no easy task – but it’s a necessary step if they ever wish to reach the Europa qualifying spots.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Nemanja Gudelj, Ørjan Nyland, Chidera Ejuke, Stanis Idumbo Muzambo are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Sevilla’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The Pncl sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1.70, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
