Rayo Vallecano will entertain Sevilla at the Estadio de Vallecas in La Liga on Saturday. Vallecano are in sixth place in the league table with 35 points, though they only have a three-point lead over the 10th-placed visitors.
The hosts have seen a drop in form and have lost their last two league games after a run of three consecutive wins. They hosted Villarreal last week and fell to a 1-0 defeat. Winger Jorge de Frutos was sent off in the 42nd minute and will serve a suspension here.
Palanganas have been in good touch recently, suffering just one loss in their last seven games. They are unbeaten in their last two games and, after a 4-0 win over Real Valladolid last month, they played out a 1-1 draw against Mallorca. Kike Salas gave them the lead in the first half and Martin Valjent equalized for Mallorca in stoppage time.
