Sevilla Form and Team News

Sevilla has been an ever improving team over the last few seasons and the last season was a reminder for that statement. In this season too, they have started out pretty decently as well after the first four games. They have won two and drawn on two occasions without losing any game in the La Liga. In the last season too, they were in as title contenders at a point and then finished at an impressive fourth position. Their defense was a matter of discussion at many junctures of the tournament due to the stellar effort at the back. They are playing against Valencia who are on the back of a defeat against leaders Real Madrid and this could be their best chance to break into the top half of the table and continue thereafter.  

JulenLopetegui has scaled new heights as Sevilla manager over the last couple of years and this year he can truly underline that comment by maybe finishing a touch higher in the points table as well as going further in the Champions League. Erik Lamela and Yossef EN-Nesyri are the only two players who have managed to shake the inner netting so far with three and two goals respectively. They would hope to find company in the games to come nonetheless. 

Valencia Form and Team News

Valencia hadn’t lost so far in the league until the last game against heavyweights Real Madrid where they lost during the dying moments of the game conceding two goals within three minutes. This considering how they played last season, is a brilliant start. Though its early doors, Valencia have put the foot on the pedal in the five games so far. Valencia in the last season finished just outside the top ten positions in the 13thposition. They played decently throughout the season and with that had they been able to replicate what they are doing now, Valencia could’ve been in for some Sevilla fun, but it was not to be. They are playing their next game against Sevilla on Monday at home. Valencia’s recent form has been great. Valencia have the team to win everything they play, and this is possible only if they start believing and performing to the fullest.

Max Gomez, Hugo Duro and Manu Vallejo combined in the frontline. Goncalo Guedes, Carlos Soler, Chershev and Wass are all experienced enough to carry the team forward. If they happen to put in performances of substance, then this Valencia team could be in for some Sevilla haunt. Spanish coach Jose Bordalas needs to balance this team out and try to get the best out of them by allowing them to play freely and see what happens from there on. He has made a good start nonetheless and we need to see as to how they carry themselves in the next game.

Our Tipster’s Angle

The head to head record is neck and neck, we can’t really distinguish much there. The recent form too is almost similar with a slight edge to the home side considering they haven’t lost yet. The team strength too will favor Sevilla more because of the number of quality players in the lineup. The Sevilla manager has seen the back of Jose Bordalas on five occasions earlier on which also makes the home side favorites to win this tie.

Tip 2: Total goals over 2.5

Valencia have in the last three matches across competitions have hadall matches where the total goal tally was over 2.5 goals.
