Sevilla vs Valencia: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Sevilla Form
Last weekend, Sevilla went down to Barcelona with little chance (2:5). Nevertheless, that defeat in Catalonia was their first in the last six league matches; prior to that, the home side had recorded four draws in five games in this competition. It is also worth noting that the club have extended their scoring run in La Liga to nine matches. However, across that same spell, the hosts have kept just one clean sheet. Overall, since the start of the current La Liga season, Sevilla have conceded 47 goals – the worst record in the competition. In the standings, the team sit 15th, with a five-point cushion above the relegation zone.
- At least two goals have been scored in eight of Sevilla’s last nine games in the Spanish league.
- The club have not conceded more than one goal in five home matches in this competition.
- Sevilla have failed to win five of their last six home games in La Liga (three draws, two defeats).

Valencia Form
Valencia are still lacking consistency. Their most recent match ended in a narrow defeat to Oviedo (0:1), who sit bottom of the table, although before that the visitors had won three of the previous four La Liga rounds. The away side saw a four-match scoring streak come to an end, while they have conceded in six of their last eight Spanish league games. As a result, Valencia have dropped to 14th in the standings. Sevilla are now exactly one point ahead of the club.
- Valencia have failed to win 14 of their last 16 away matches in La Liga (four draws, 10 defeats).
- Valencia’s run of games without a draw in this competition now stands at nine matches (five wins, four losses).
- The club have scored in seven of their last eight away matches in La Liga.
Potential Valencia Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Stole Dimitrievski – Unai Nunez, Eray Comert, Thierry Correia, Jose Luis Gaya – Guido Rodriguez, Javi Guerra – Largie Ramazani, Arnaut Danjuma, Filip Ugrinic – Umar Sadiq.
Goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala, midfielder Filip Ugrinic, as well as defenders Thierry Correia, Mouctar Diakhaby and Dimitri Foulquier are unavailable due to injury.

Sevilla vs Valencia: Match Prediction
Despite the heavy defeat to Barcelona last time out, it is fair to say that Sevilla have improved. However, they still cannot find the right balance between attack and defence. For all their respectable output in front of goal, the home team keep clean sheets very rarely, which is why both teams have scored in eight of their last nine La Liga matches. It is also worth adding that both sides found the net in each of Sevilla’s previous four home games in this competition.
Valencia have similar issues. The away side operate effectively in attack: only two of their last 17 league matches ended goalless. However, due to frequent defensive errors, the visitors have kept just four clean sheets in that time. If we look at their away numbers, the trend is much the same. Valencia have scored in seven of their last eight away matches in La Liga, but have kept only two clean sheets across those eight games.
Notably, both teams created chances and scored in each of the last four head-to-head meetings at Sevilla’s ground in La Liga. Most likely, the opponents will again score at least once apiece this time.
Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
