The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Rayo Vallecano take on Sevilla in an important clash at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday.
Sevilla vs Rayo Vallecano Preview
Rayo Vallecano are currently in 10th place in the La Liga standings and have punched above their weight so far this season. The Madrid-based outfit thrashed Cadiz by a convincing 5-1 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Sevilla, on the other hand, are in 16th place in the league table at the moment and have been surprisingly poor this season. The Andalusian giants defeated FC Copenhagen by a comfortable 3-0 margin this week and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
