Sevilla

DLDLWL

After being beaten in their last game against Real Madrid in La Liga action, Sevilla will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Sevilla managed 38% possession and 6 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Real Madrid had 16 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Kylian Mbappé (75') and Jude Bellingham (87') scored for Real Madrid.

The numbers tell their own story, and Sevilla have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 9 goals in total. In defence, Sevilla have not been doing too well. Regardless, it remains to be seen whether such a trend might be replicated in this next game.

Their past results show that Sevilla:

• haven't won against Villarreal when they've played them away from home in the last 6 league matches. Not good.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 league matches.

📋 Team News: Villarreal

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Villarreal boss Marcelino García Toral to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group. Ilias Akhomach (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out.

It looks as if El Submarino Amarillo should line up in a 4-4-2 system in the match, beginning the first half with Luiz Junior, Pau Navarro, Juan Foyth, Logan Costa, Alfonso Pedraza, Tajon Buchanan, Santi Comesana, Pape Gueye, Alejandro Baena, Nicolas Pepe and Thierno Barry.

ℹ️ Team News: Sevilla

Sevilla boss Joaquín Caparrós has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Rubén Vargas (Hamstring injury), Tanguy Nianzou (Hamstring injury) and Akor Adams (Muscle injury) won’t be making appearances.

There’s a good chance that Sevillistas seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Alvaro Fernandez, Jose Angel Carmona, Kike Salas, Marcao, Adria Pedrosa, Lucien Agoume, Nemanja Gudelj, Juanlu Sanchez, Suso, Djibril Sow and Alvaro Pascual.

💡 Prediction

It’s likely that Sevilla will have a tough assignment to break down a Villarreal lineup who will most probably win pretty easily here.

We predict a comprehensive 3-0 win for Villarreal at the end of this one.
