Sevilla Hope To Improve Against Rayo Vallecano

 
Sevilla are in top form and has moved back into contention for Champions League football and they'll look to continue their winning ways at Rayo Vallecano this Sunday afternoon.
 
Sevilla's current form has seen them steadily move into contention for an assault on the UEFA Champions League qualifying berths and though they trail fourth placed Villarreal by eight points, will be confident that they can make up that ground in the remaining 14 games of the campaign and starting here with Rayo.
 
 Sevilla are unbeaten in their last six Spanish league top flight ahead of this one, which includes a 2-0 win at home to Las Palmas last weekend, whilst they've also booked their place in the 2016 Copa del Rey final thanks to 6-2 aggregate win over Celta de Vigo in the last four. They'll face Catalan giants FC Barcelona in the May showpiece.

Los Rojiblancos are also going strong in the Europa League and all but booked their place in the last 16 with a 3-0 win at home to Norway's Molde on Thursday night.

A Fernando Llorente double and strike from Kevin Gameiro gave the holders a commanding lead. Llorente had gone 11 games without a goal before Thursday's encounter and his confidence has returned at a most inopportune time for the hosts.

Sevilla boss Unai Emery is excited at the prospect of a Europa League hat-trick, which is now very much close at hand..
