Sevilla to win
In the Sevilla vs. Rayo Vallecano matchup, Sevilla is favored to secure a win, particularly given their strong home form at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium. Sevilla has been traditionally dominant at home, with a solid defense and a capable attack led by players like Youssef En-Nesyri and Ivan Rakitic. Despite some inconsistencies this season, Sevilla tends to perform well in front of their home crowd, where they can exert control over the game.
Rayo Vallecano, while competitive and well-organized under coach Andoni Iraola, has had difficulty on the road, particularly against teams with the quality and depth of Sevilla. Rayo’s defensive resilience may limit Sevilla’s chances, but they are likely to struggle to break down the Sevilla defense and get past key players like Tanguy Nianzou and Marcos Acuña.
