Betting tips for Rayo Vallecano vs Sevilla 19.08.2018

Vallecas opens the 2018-19 season with the visit of Sevilla in this first match of the Santander League.

Rayo Vallecano returns to the First Division after a great season in Liga 1 | 2 | 3 | from the hand of former player Michel. The franjirrojo picture will have almost 30 million budget to look for what would be a huge success at the end of the season: continue among the best.

For this, the team has just invested 6.6 million euros in the signings of Gael Kakuta since the Chinese League; of José Pozo from Almería; of Emiliano Velázquez from Atlético de Madrid; and Jordi Amat from Swansea. In addition, comes the Peruvian right wing Luís Advíncula from Tigres on loan, as the Valencian Álvaro Medrán. And the right side of the Leganés, Tito, and the goalkeeper of Getafe Alberto García arrive free.

In the chapter of losses, the team loses one of its stars, the young Fran Beltrán, for which the Celta pays the clause of 8 million, and enters 5 million more for the sale of Johan Mojica to Girona.

Santi Comesaña is down by penalty for this match.

El Sevilla starts a new project with Joaquín Caparrós in the sports management and Pablo Machín in the bench. After suffering to obtain a place in the previous phase of the Europa League, the 5 times champion of the second European football competition has started earlier to be prepared not to fail in the previous rounds that will begin in a few days.

With a budget of 205 million, the great goal of the Nervión is to return to play the Champions League next season. To do this, a young trainer like Machin has been signed, signing 2 players (the midfielder Ibrahim Amadou and the goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik) and making effective the purchase option of the Canarian Roque Mesa. In addition, the team has signed Aleix Vidal, from FC Barcelona.

The goal is David Soria, sold to Getafe; the midfielder Guido Pizarro, returned to the Mexican Tigers; and the French center Lenglet, for which Barça has paid 36 million euros. Neither are Miguel Layún (sold by FC Porto to Villarreal), Johannes Geis (returns to Schalke 04) and Spanish international Sandro Ramírez (he returns to Everton, although he probably does not play this year with the Toffees). . In the last hours of the English market, Sergio Rico has left on loan to Fulham.

The international players who have played the World Cup with their national teams, such as the new champion with France, Steven N'Zonzi; the Danish Kjaer; the Colombian Muriel; or the Argentines Mercado and Banega are already with the team.

The Sevilla squad had no problem getting rid of the Hungarian Ujpest in the previous round of the Champions League, defeating Lithuania's Zalgiris 1-0 in the first leg of the third round. Already last Sunday, the team lost the final of the Spanish Supercup against FC Barcelona (2-1).


Vallecas is always a complicated square, and more after traveling to Lithuania and just resting. Even so, those of Machín have removed the pressure by beating the Zalgiris and can arrive in conditions to win without problems in Madrid.
