Team News

Rayo Vallecano
Sevilla
  • Apart from Diego Mendez, Rayo can boast a clean bill of health.
  • Pep Chavarria, who grabbed an assist against Atletico Madrid in midweek, could continue in the side this weekend on the left flank.
  • Pathe Ciss could return in midfield having exited AFCON with Senegal.
  • Midfielder and club legend Ivan Rakitic has left the club to join Al-Shabab.
  • Suso and Sergio Ramos are suspended for this match and will be sidelined.
  • Youssef En Nesyri could return up front and Rafa Mir could feature after his move to Valencia fell through at the last moment this week.
  • Djibril Sow is back in training and could be fit to start on Monday evening.

Prediction

  • Rayo welcome Sevilla to the Vallecas on Monday evening - a stadium they have not scored in for three consecutive matches. Sevilla, one point from the relegation zone, could extend their safety bid to four points with a victory on the road. If Rayo were to take the points, they could move from 13th to 11th.
  • Sevilla have not kept a clean sheet in eight matches, and are in vital need of some confidence. Isaac Romero has notched two goals in three La Liga matches and will closely compete with Youssef En Nesyri for the striking spot - that's if the two don't start playing alongside eachother from now.
  • The visitors are finding their feet in attack, but desperately need to sure up their defences. Unfortunately for them, the suspension to Sergio Ramos and the injuries to Nemanja Gudelj and Tanguy Nianzou could make it very difficult for Quique Sanchez Flores to plug the holes in his starting eleven on Monday.
