Rayo Vallecano hosts Sevilla in round 28 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, March 13th at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid)
Rayo Vallecano continues to fall. In the last round, the Red Sashes lost to Cadiz CF (2-0), which is fighting for survival. In the winter of last year, Andoni Iraola's men were in close proximity to the Champions League zone. But a streak of eight matches without victories (seven losses and one draw) changed everything. Now Rayo Vallecano is on the 13th line with 31 points. If the team doesn’t gain at least a few victories in the near future, it will get closer to the relegation zone. At the moment, the gap from the three outsiders is seven points. In the last four home games, the Red Sashes have not gained a single victory. However, the team's overall home results are as follows: eight victories, two draws, and three defeats with a goal difference of 20-9.

Sevilla players have almost deprived themselves of the chances of winning the championship. In the last round, they failed to beat Alaves away (0-0). Beyond that, they had a streak of three consecutive draws not so long ago. Currently, Julen Lopetegui’s men are on the second line in the Spanish LaLiga standings. They have 55 points after 27 rounds, and the gap from the third place is seven points. However, the third-ranked Barcelona has one game in hand. In addition, the backlog from the leading Real Madrid is eight points. Sevilla's away statistics look like this: five victories, seven draws, and two losses with a goal difference of 11-7. It should be noted that Sevilla has the most reliable defense in the championship: only 18 goals conceded.
In the first half of the current season, Sevilla confidently coped with Rayo Vallecano at home (2-0). The last 12 head-to-head matches between Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla ended with the following results: ten victories for the Andalusians and two draws. The Red Sashes are very unyielding at their native stadium. I think that they can create problems for Sevilla, which has recently turned into a too peaceful team (this is especially true for away games: seven draws in 14 cases). If the Andalusians don’t win, Barcelona will get very close to them. It is unlikely that such a prospect will please Lopetegui's men. In any case, we are unlikely to see a goal show in the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
