Sevilla FC are looking to get three straight wins in La Liga, when they meet with Valencia CF, for their La Liga meeting. These two teams are not that far from each other in the league table, but Valencia is in a better spot than Sevilla. Sevilla is currently at the 15th of the league table with 23 points, but they have not yet to win their last two matches in the league. Fortunately, Sevilla is in a two-game winning run across all contests, giving them confidence here. Meanwhile, Valencia is at the ninth of the league table, earning 25 points from their 24 matches. Unlike their opponent, Valencia is doing well in their last two matches in La Liga, winning both matches. The meeting between these two teams is on February 18, 2024, at 4:00 AM (GMT+8).
Sevilla FC
Sevilla, led by Quique Sanchez Flores, is in 15th position in the table after two consecutive league victories. Their recent wins have given them breathing space, and they are only four points behind 12th-placed Alaves. Sevilla’s solid defending has allowed them to achieve these wins, and their approach will be similar when they face Valencia. The likelihood is that there will be few clear-cut chances created on Saturday and probably fewer than three goals, fitting the pattern of recent Valencia home games and head-to-head meetings. Los Nervionenses, who finished 12th in La Liga last season, have struggled on their travels this season, only picking up nine points from their 11 matches away from their supporters. Sevilla aims to record a 2-0 victory over Valencia in the corresponding match last term.
Sevilla faces several injury issues, including Lucien Agoume, Marcao, and others unavailable for selection. Lucas Ocampos is expected to start, and Yossif En-Nesyri and Isaac Romero are expected to continue as front two.
Valencia CF
Valencia has a strong home record with a record of 10 wins, five draws, and nine defeats in 24 league games in 2023-24. This leaves them in the ninth position of the league table. Los Che, led by Ruben Baraja, have been excellent at home. In fact, they won five and drawing two of their last seven league matches at Mestalla. However, Valencia has lost their last two on their travels, including a 2-0 loss to Las Palmas. This caused them to drop down into ninth spot. Los Che will aim to do the league double over Sevilla for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign, having recorded a 2-1 victory in the reverse game. The team has an imperious home record, having only dropped four points since late September against Real Sociedad.
Valencia faces Sevilla, missing Thierry Correia and Andre Almeida due to injury. Diego Lopez may return, and Sergi Canos is aiming for wide-area involvement. Goalkeeper Hugo Duro is in strong form.
Prediction:
Valencia CF (2.0)
Odds: -0.83
