Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano meet in La Liga with both teams level on points in the standings. The hosts showed strong character in the previous round when they recovered from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 in the derby against Betis.
That result extended Sevilla’s unbeaten run to four matches, although three of those games ended in draws. Their recent home performances also reflect this pattern, as they drew 1-1 against both Alaves and Girona in their last two matches at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
Prediction: Asian Handicap – Sevilla +0.5
The recommended pick for this match is Sevilla +0.5 on the Asian Handicap, which wins if Sevilla either win or draw the match.
Rayo Vallecano also arrive in good form. They secured an impressive 3-0 home victory against Oviedo during the week and are now unbeaten in four consecutive matches. However, most of their positive results have come at home.
Rayo have struggled away from home in La Liga, failing to win any of their last seven away matches since October. Their most recent away result was a respectable 1-1 draw against Betis, which showed some improvement but still highlights their difficulties on the road.
