Sevilla vs Valencia Preview

Sevilla will once again be without the injured Samir Nasri who had been playing well on loan from Manchester City. Benoît Trémoulinas and Michael Krohn-Dehli are also in the treatment room but Mariano has been cleared to play and should come in on the right. Vitolo and Franco Vazquez should provide service for lone striker Luciano Vietto.

Valencia are nearing a clean bill of health with only Fede Cartabia injured at present. Nani and Eliaquim Mangala will need to be on their best behaviour, as both are just one booking away from a suspension. Dani Parejo will play in the hole behind lone striker Rodrigo, with support from Nani and Cancelo on the flanks.

Sevilla vs Valencia Prediction

Sevilla come into this game on the back of some sub-standard performances. They never looked like winning against Barcelona and after losing to Boca in a friendly, they made heavy weather of it away to Deportivo, despite eventually winning 2-3. The midweek defeat to Juventus fully exposed their defensive frailties and the hosts will need to tighten things up from here on in.

Valencia gave a good account of themselves despite losing 2-3 at home to Barcelona. That result was followed by a disappointing 1-1 draw away to Deportivo and they were unlucky not to get anything despite taking the lead in a 2-1 defeat away to Celta Vigo. Valencia have had no problems scoring goals of late but like their hosts, have been prone to defensive lapses.

It’s interesting that Sevilla have lost their last two home matches, given that they are usually pretty solid in front of a their own fans. They’ve shipped 7 goals in 3 matches which has to give Valencia hope, despite their poor record here. Los Ches have played reasonably well without reward of late and are taken to snatch an unlikely point here.
