After a success in the Europa League, which Red-Whites have won in 2019/20 season, their performance in La Liga has declined. Julien Lopetegui managed to get the team back on track pretty quickly.

Tip and bets
Rayo Vallecano are not strangers to La Liga, but due to a small budget team rarely stays in the top-flight for a long time. There are some experienced players of high level in the squad of capital team, but we don't think that they will have a chance for the victory today.
In our opinion, a support of 16,000 fans and a class of host team will do the business. We are expecting a confident start from the Andalusian team.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on Sevilla
We are expecting a defensive performance from the visitors, they are unlikely to play offensively against the Red-Whites. Though, it won't be a surprise for Sevilla. We are expecting a storm from Andalusians and a number of goals.
Our second bet is on total over 2,5 goals
