Sevilla are 13 matches unbeaten in La Liga and sit just eight points back from first-place Real Madrid in the title race.

On Sunday, Los Rojiblancos face off with La Liga’s most out of form team, Rayo Vallecano. A win on Sunday would pull Sevilla five points closer to Real Madrid prior to the league leader’s Monday night match versus Mallorca.

Rayo Vallecano started the La Liga campaign in great form. However, since last January, the Red Sashes failed to win seven consecutive matches in La Liga. The last six straight games played by Rayo Vallecano finished as losses in the Spanish top flight.

Sevilla are undefeated in 12 straight matches in all competitions versus Rayo Vallecano. Ten of those 12 matches ended in wins for Sevilla.

In the teams’ reverse fixture, Sevilla claimed a 3-0 win versus Rayo Vallecano. Youssef En-Nesyri scored a penalty in the 19th minute and Erik Lamela tallied a second half brace for Sevilla. Rayo Vallecano’s Luca Zidane, the son of Zinedine Zidane was sent off on 16 minutes.
