Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan will host the opening-day battle between Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano, with both sides looking to begin the new La Liga campaign on a positive note. Sevilla enjoyed a promising preseason overall, although they suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in their final warm-up. Summer arrivals Arouna Sangante and Jon Guridi are expected to make their official debuts, giving the hosts fresh options in defence and attack. Sevilla have won 50% of their last 10 matches and conceded just 0.90 goals per game during that period.
Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, have plenty to prove after a disappointing preseason in which they lost three of four warm-up games. Their final preparation ended with a heavy 3-0 defeat to Ipswich. Alfonso Espino has departed, while Nobel Mendy has signed permanently, but the club managed to retain several key players. Rayo have scored in 80% of their last 10 matches, although their away defence has conceded 1.25 goals per game.
Sevilla have dominated this fixture historically, winning 13 of the previous 22 meetings, while Rayo have managed just two victories. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals 9 (Sevilla’s matches average just 1.90 goals recently).
This Primera Division match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 20:30.
