Will Sevilla take an opportunity to escape the relegation zone? Read our prediction.
Rayo before the game
The beginning of 2024 turned out to be very successful for Rayo Vallecano. Two victories were won. First, the club defeated Getafe in La Liga, and then Huesca in the Copa. Rayo soon experienced a decline. The team for Example suffered two defeats in a row. The Red Bands score very few goals. In 21 matches, Vallecano scored only 18 goals - this is no good. In the last 5 meetings of the Primera team, nothing new happened either. During this period, they scored only 2 goals while conceding 4.

Nevertheless, the Bees feel comfortable at the table, being as much as eight points away from the dangerous zone. We most likely will be watching this metropolitan team in La Liga for at least another season. However, compared to last year's players, Rayo Vallecano's players perform much worse. And if for a long time in the championship, the team was considered a very unyielding opponent, rarely losing, then in the last ten rounds alone the Bees suffered five defeats.
Sevilla can't bounce back
The revolving door of head coaches has found no answer to their woes when it comes to La Liga competition, although Quique Sánchez Flores led them into the final eight of the Copa del Rey before they narrowly lost to Atlético Madrid in midweek.
The Sevilla players are approaching the match with a winless streak of five matches, with as many as four defeats in a row. The team was also eliminated from the national cup: they managed to get past Racing Ferrol and Getafe, but then the Andalusians stumbled over Atletico. Now there is only one goal left for the season - not to be relegated to the Segunda Division. And we can presume that Seville will ultimately fulfil the global task. Still, it has good experienced football players on its roster who are unlikely to allow a relegation in class. But specifically, there is much doubt about the guest's victory in the next match over Rayo.
Sevilla disappoints not only with its play, and while the team’s attacking work more or less bears fruit, the club’s defensive line cannot be called stable. And by the way, in the last 9 matches, the Seville team conceded 2 or more goals 5 times. And in general, this season the club is showing a dismal performance in defence, and if we look at the numbers, then on average the team concedes about 1.56 goals per game.
Game prediction
Rayo Vallecano is not so much inferior in class to its opponent, but both of them are also not in their best condition. However, the bookmakers chose the home team as the favourite. It is worth noting that Sevilla has not won head-to-head matches for 4 matches. The game will probably be tense and cautious.
