Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Rayo Vallecano will try to recover from a heart-breaking loss to Atletico Madrid when they take on Sevilla in the La Liga round 7. Los Vallecanos produced a fine display in the Madrid derby, but eventually extended their winless run to five games in the national championship. Experienced midfielder Alvaro Garcia is pushing for a start after scoring a beautiful goal in the local derby, while all Luiz Felipe, Abdul Mumin, and Randy Nteka remain in the recovery room.
Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Villarreal. Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we predict that they are going to share the spoils in the suburbs of Madrid. Both Alfonso Gonzalez and Joan Jordan are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
