Prediction: 1-0
Sevilla
Sunday’s football game at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas pits together Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla, the two teams who aim to represent Spain in European competitions next season. Los Vallecanos dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with fellow capital club Getafe, with the team dropping to sixth place, but they are surely capable of matching los Sevillanos in the suburbs of Madrid. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Andoni Iraola is unlikely to make changes to the team that faced los Azulones in the local derby.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Mallorca, but seeing that Rayo have turned their stadium into a real fortress, we are tempted to put our money on the home team. All Marcao, Papu Gomez, and Jesus Corona should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
