Form Guide — Last 5
Sevilla
Sevilla’s recent five‑game run reads W‑L‑L, highlighted by a 3‑2 away win at Villarreal and successive 0‑1 defeats to Real Madrid (home) and Celta Vigo (away). The win shows they can break down opponents, while the narrow losses suggest defensive frailties – a mix that supports a scenario where both sides could score.
Rayo Vallecano
Rayo Vallecano’s last five league games are D‑D‑W‑W, including a 2‑0 home win over Villarreal and a 2‑1 away victory at Alaves after two 1‑1 draws with Girona and Valencia. The back‑to‑back wins, each involving multiple goals, indicate a heightened propensity to score, which aligns with a BTTS outcome.
Head-to-Head
In the five most recent meetings, the scorelines have been 1‑1, 0‑1, 1‑1, 1‑0, and 2‑1, meaning three of the five fixtures featured both teams scoring, supporting the BTTS pick.
