Sevilla

DWLWLL

Sevilla will be hoping for a better result after a 4-1 Copa del Rey loss in their previous game against UD Almería.

In that match, Sevilla managed 52% possession and 15 shots at goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Sevilla was Isaac Romero (5'). At the other end, Almeria got 14 shots on goal with 6 on target. Marko Milovanović (49') and Luis Suárez (54', 78', 96') scored for UD Almería.

Sevilla have not been the best at stopping their opponents lately, although they have also done enough to score goals themselves. Looking at their last 6 games, Sevilla have conceded in 5 of them in addition to scoring in 6 of those games. Historical results aside, it remains to be seen whether that trend might continue on in this game.

Taking a look at their past results, Sevilla:

• have not emerged victorious against Valencia in their last 2 matches in the league.
• are unbeaten in their last 3 home league matches.

Valencia

LLDDLW

Valencia go into this meeting following a 0-2 Copa del Rey win with the eclipse of Eldense in their most recent game.

In that game, Valencia managed 56% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. For Valencia, the goals were scored by Sergi Canós (9') and Diego López (39'). Eldense had 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target.

The numbers tell their own story, and Valencia have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 8 goals in total. At the back, Valencia have not been doing too well.

Pre-game facts show that Valencia:

• remain undefeated by Sevilla when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
• have not won away from home in their last 12 league games. It's not a good run at all.

🗞️ Team News: Sevilla

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Sevilla boss Francisco García Pimienta to contend with from a near full-strength group. Tanguy Nianzou (Hamstring injury) misses out.

We are thinking that Sevillistas will probably make use of the 4-3-3 system for this one, handing starts to Alvaro Fernandez, Jose Angel Carmona, Loic Bade, Nemanja Gudelj, Kike Salas, Juanlu Sanchez, Lucien Agoume, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Dodi Lukebakio, Isaac Romero and S. Idumbo Muzambo.

ℹ️ Team News: Valencia

Valencia boss Carlos Corberán has to choose a team with limited availability. Fran Pérez (Muscle injury), Mouctar Diakhaby (Knee injury) and Thierry Correia (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

We’re of the thinking that Los Che seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Giorgi Mamardashvili, Dimitri Foulquier, Cristhian Mosquera, Cesar Tarrega, Yarek Gasiorowski, Enzo Barrenechea, Pepelu, Diego Lopez, Andre Almeida, Luis Rioja and Hugo Duro.

💡 Prediction

We’re of the view that Valencia will need things to go their way to break down this Sevilla lineup who we reckon should gain the upper hand.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning margin for Sevilla at the end of the 90.

Should be a close one.
