Sevilla - Rayo Vallecano
Last updated: Today, at Sevilla host Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga opener
Sevilla begin their LaLiga campaign at home to Rayo Vallecano on Saturday, 15 August 2026, at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan. The hosts are expected to field a midfield-heavy XI featuring Ruben Vargas and Jon Guridi, with Isaac Romero leading the line. Rayo Vallecano's predicted lineup sees a forward-focused approach, with Isi Palazon and Jorge de Frutos supporting Sergio Camello upfront, marshalled by a midfield unit including Unai Lopez and Oscar Valentin.
Recent encounters between these two sides have been closely contested, with Sevilla holding a slight edge. The last four LaLiga meetings have seen Sevilla win three, with two of those victories being by a single goal. Rayo Vallecano secured a 1-1 draw at home in March 2026, suggesting they can pose a threat, but Sevilla have a strong recent record against them, including two wins in the 2024-25 season.
