Prediction: 1-1
Sevilla
Campo de Futbol de Vallecas will host Monday’s football game between Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla. Los Vallecanos aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Head coach Francisco will watch the game from the stands as he was sent-off in the last league match, while Bebe is unlikely to return in time to face Sevilla as he represented Cape Verde at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, aim to escape the danger zone, but seeing that Rayo are tough to beat in the suburbs of Madrid, a close encounter is on the cards. You should bear in mind that the two sides shared the spoils in three of their last four meetings in La Liga. Youssef En Nesyri is back from international duty, while both Suso and Sergio Ramos are banned for the match.
