If you look at the league table, this could be a potential close encounter between two sides separated by only two points in the league. However, given the recent form and trajectory, Valencia will be our pick for this fixture against an out-of-sorts Sevilla side.
The home side picked up form at the right time, when fears of relegation loomed over Valencia, as the hosts were unbeaten in their previous five league matches. Valencia have won three of their previous five games, having scored first in each of their last five.
Valencia also boasts a psychological advantage against the visitors, having remained unbeaten in the last three meetings between the two sides. Interestingly, this fixture is usually an ill-tempered affair, with four red cards in the last six meetings between the two sides.
Sevilla are without a win in their previous three games, having lost their last three with no points gained. However, they will be expected to provide tough competition for Valencia, having only lost once in their previous five matches away from home.
Ultimately, the form of Valencia will see them over the line, and we predict a 2-1 victory for the home side.
Valencia 2-1 Sevilla
