Our Tipsters Angle

Sevilla would undoubtedly want to win this match because it presents an excellent opportunity to close the gap between them and Real Madrid. They have been doing good at stealing 1-0 wins and locking down once they score.

Valencia is in a mixed run, having lost heavily to Real Madrid and lost to Espanyol in their last 5 games. They would also be interested in winning this match to continue their stride to the European league spots.

Here are our tips for this match.

Tip 1:  Sevilla to Win

The Sevilla team is just too much for Valencia at this point. Also, Valencia is missing significant players due to injury, which has shaped the way they play. Sevilla hasn’t lost any of those last 5 games, and after Real Madrid dropped points, this game presents an excellent opportunity to reduce the point gap.

Also, checking their H2H against Valencia, the last 5 games in all competitions between these two teams, Sevilla has won all 5 of them. 

We think Sevilla will do just enough to win this game, and for Sevilla to win, Casino offers 2.28 odds.

Tip 2:  Under 3.5 Goals

Although Sevilla has been winning games, they have been cautious in front of goals too. Watching them play, sometimes, it looks like their game plan is to get the first goal, then control the rest of the match, keep their opponents off the ball, and win the match.

Most of their matches have been under 3.5 goals due to the scenario we explained above. Also, checking their H2H against Valencia, 4 of the last 5 games between them in all competitions had ended under 3.5 goals.

Under 3.5 goals match option is available on Casumo Sportsbook at 1.20 odds.  

Conclusion

Sevilla has been in excellent form this season, and they are really worthy title contenders. Valencia hosts them for this match, and even though this Valencia side looks like a former shadow of itself, they might play for pride and cause Sevilla problems.

This is a big match in La Liga, and even though we think Sevilla would win, we don’t see it being by a big margin like Real Madrid thrashed Valencia.
