Sevilla vs. Rayo Vallecano: Match Prediction
The Madrid side has identical results at home and away in the current La Liga season. However, Sevilla performs better at home, where they have won 3 out of 4 matches in this championship. Most likely, the home advantage will play a key role in the upcoming match.
Also, the head-to-head statistics are clearly in favor of the hosts. Sevilla has lost to Rayo Vallecano only once in the last 17 La Liga meetings, securing 11 wins and 5 draws. In these encounters, Sevilla has averaged 2.2 goals. Notably, the Madrid side rarely wins away – in the previous 15 La Liga matches, they have only two victories (5 draws and 8 losses).
