After a successful outing in Europe Sevilla will face Rayo Vallecano in the league. Sevilla's fortunes have changed over the last few weeks, some time ago, they were fighting for their survival in the bottom three but now they have a very clear path to enter into the top 10. After their recent showings in the last few weeks Sevilla's odds shouldn't be this high but I am going to take the advantage and back them to win or draw against Rayo Vallecano. Here are the basis for my selection:

[1] Sevilla knows their way around Rayo Vallecano. It's fair to see why I've backed Sevilla here, as Rayo Vallecano has a very poor record against Sevilla. They have been victorious in 10 out of 15 games against Rayo Vallecano, in fact, Sevilla has not lost a game at this ground in more than a decade. Rayo Vallecano has only two wins out of 15 contests with Sevilla. A 67% win rate is enough to convince me to back Sevilla to win but for a safer bet, I would like to go for a win or draw in favour of Sevilla.

[2] Sevilla has one of the best teams outside the top four. Jorge Sampaoli has a lot of players at his disposal with the likes of Ivan Rakitic and Jesus Navas forming a well experienced part of the team. Sevilla is also not lacking exciting talents with Bryan Gil returning from Tottenham Hotspur to give Sevilla a good attacking threat down the left. Sevilla has scored more goals from open play than Rayo Vallecano in the league this season despite starting the year with their key attackers injured. Yacine Bonou was one of the best goalkeepers at the FIFA 2022 World Cup and he is expected to start in goal for Sevilla.

[3] A big win in midweek over PSV Eindhoven was enough for Sevilla to show their outstanding quality. They have won their last two games by a good margin, 2-0 and 3-0. They clearly have the momentum and would try to push into the top ten when they clash with Rayo Vallecano.

在欧洲取得成功后，塞维利亚将在联赛中面对巴列卡诺。塞维利亚的命运在过去几周发生了变化，一段时间前，他们还在倒数三名中为生存而战，但现在他们有一条非常明确的道路进入前十。在他们最近几周的表现之后，塞维利亚的赔率不应该这么高，但我将利用这个优势，支持他们赢或平巴列卡诺。以下是我选择的依据:

塞维利亚对雷约·巴列卡诺了如指掌。很明显我为什么支持塞维利亚，因为巴列卡诺在塞维利亚的战绩非常糟糕。他们在对阵巴列卡诺的15场比赛中取得了10场胜利，事实上，塞维利亚在这片土地上已经十多年没有输过一场比赛了。巴列卡诺在塞维利亚的15场比赛中只赢了两场。67%的胜率足以说服我支持塞维利亚赢球，但为了更安全的赌注，我希望塞维利亚赢球或打平。

塞维利亚是前四名之外最好的球队之一。桑保利拥有很多球员，比如拉基蒂奇和纳瓦斯都是经验丰富的球员。塞维利亚也不缺乏令人兴奋的天才，布莱恩·吉尔从托特纳姆热刺回来，给塞维利亚一个很好的左路进攻威胁。尽管塞维利亚的主要攻击手受伤，但在本赛季的联赛中，塞维利亚的空挡进球比巴列卡诺还要多。亚辛·博努是2022年世界杯上最好的门将之一，他有望在塞维利亚首发出场。

在周中对埃因霍温的一场大胜足以让塞维利亚展示他们卓越的实力。他们以2-0和3-0的大比分赢得了最近的两场比赛。他们显然有冲劲，当他们与巴列卡诺交锋时，他们会努力挤进前十。
