Sevilla host Rayo Vallecano to open new La Liga season
Sevilla open their La Liga campaign at home to Rayo Vallecano, with both sides looking to carry recent form into the opening weekend of the season.
Sevilla arrive in decent shape, having won three of their last five matches, drawn one and lost one, while Rayo Vallecano's recent run reads two wins and three defeats across the same span.
A fixture Sevilla have edged
The two sides have met five times since February 2024, with Sevilla winning three of those encounters and the other two ending in draws. Rayo Vallecano have not beaten Sevilla in that run.
The most recent meeting, in March 2026, finished 1-1, while the previous away trip to Rayo Vallecano back in September 2025 ended in a 1-0 win for Sevilla.
With the fixture arriving on the opening matchday, neither side has any league points on the board yet, making this an early opportunity for either to make a statement as the campaign gets under way.
