Sevilla - Rayo Vallecano

Match date: 15/08-21:30

Sevilla FC

After a dream summer for all football fans in our country, regular competition returns and with it, our favorite game, Fantasy.

For the teams taking part in the competition, it is time to set objectives again, implement strategies that lead to achieving them, and establish roles. 
The Sevilla side approach the new season with the goal of not having to suffer again, as they have been doing in recent years. The opener will be at the Nervión cauldron, with the special guest, Rayo Vallecano. The Madrid club arrive after four defeats and three draws in their last seven meetings against Sevilla, with their most recent win coming in October 2022, precisely at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

The unusual revolution in the squad carried out by the Sevilla offices this summer transfer window, both in terms of players leaving and arriving, points to a change of scenery that has once again sparked optimism among fans, something that will surely be noticeable on Saturday.

In the words of Luis García Plaza, it is necessary to add a victory that is just as important as the ones you secure at the end of the season, so there is no doubt the team will do everything to maintain a consistency that they have struggled to show in pre-season and that is key in LaLiga.

Rayo Vallecano

The Rayito debuts this season with a off-field situation that we all know about. Even so, they understand the importance of scraping points in the opening matchdays. 

There are still signings pending, so the XI they will field at the Pizjuán will be very recognizable. The official confirmation of the departures of Mendy and Chavarría opens up the range of options. If they decide to sign someone. 

From a sporting point of view, the question is who will be the pairing with Lejeune. Although Pelayo has played in pre-season, the new arrival Kumbulla has plenty of options. The left-back spot will be taken by Balliu. 

The good news for Isi means he comes into the starting XI. Unai will partner Valentín and Alemao or Nteka will be the attacking reference. Few options for Camello.
