Betting on Valencia
For the first time since the 1985-86 season, Valencia is on the brink of relegation. Back then, Los Chés were demoted for the first and only time in their history.
With only one win in their last five matches and two in their last 14, Valencia sits in 18th place with 27 points. The team is only two points ahead of Real Valladolid, which is in the relegation zone.
However, there is some good news for Rubén Baraja’s team. It will play this match at home, where it has performed well this year, earning 21 out of 36 possible points.
Valencia has not lost at Mestalla in three matchdays and is one of the teams in La Liga that has conceded the fewest goals at home, with only 13. The team has scored 21 of its 30 goals in the tournament at home.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Giorgi Mamardashvili; Dimitri Foulquier, Eray Cömert, Cenk Özkacar, José Gayà; Yunus Musah, Nico González, Samu Castillejo; André Almeida, Justin Kluivert; Hugo Duro.
Betting on Sevilla
Sevilla’s situations seems to be slightly better than that of Valencia, but a slip-up could bring the team back to the relegation zone where it spent several weeks before.
Thanks to two wins and a draw in the last four matchdays, José Luis Mendilibar’s team can breathe a little easier in 13th place with 32 points, five more than Valencia in the last red zone spot of La Liga standings.
To maintain that cushion, Sevilla will need to improve its away performance, as it recently did with an incredible draw against Manchester United in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals.
In La Liga, the Blanquirrojos have only recorded two wins in their last 10 away matches and are the fourth team to have conceded the most goals away from home, with 26 goals.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Bono; Jesús Navas, Marcao, Tanguy Nianzou, Gonzalo Montiel; Joan Jordán, Fernando; Oliver Torres, Ivan Rakitic, Bryan Gil; Youssef En-Nesyri.
JefeBet Prediction
One of the most iconic matches in Spanish soccer history will be played this Sunday, and it’s probably going to be one of the most important clashes of this series.
Valencia has only 10 chances left to avoid a painful descent amidst an institutional crisis that could bring serious financial and soccer consequences to the club.
Meanwhile, the change of command in Sevilla seems to have brought positive consequences, as a good streak has kept the team away from the relegation zone and also fighting for another historic title in the Europa League.
The good news for the Chés is that they will play in front of their fanbase, where they have felt comfortable this year. However, Sevilla also has recent history on its side, as the team has registered eight consecutive games without losing against Valencia.
Prediction: Both teams score (VAL 1 – SEV 1).
