Valencia vs Sevilla FC Preview

Valencia vs Sevilla FC

Competition – Spanish Primera

Stadium – Estadio Mestalla

Date: 8th December 2018

Kick-off time – 15:15 GMT

Valencia are having a season that no one ever imagined after they ended their last campaign inside the Champions League places.

Los Che are currently struggling close to the relegation zone in the league table and they have all but exited the Champions League ahead of their final group match.

They have just 3 wins from 14 games in the league this season and they were beaten 2-0 by a resurgent Real Madrid side in their last league game.

Valencia have beaten Getafe and Rayo Vallecano in the past couple of weeks and that should give them confidence that they can get a result here.

Sevilla are one of the teams to beat in Spain at the moment.

They come into this game in second position just a point off the top of the La Liga table.

Sevilla are unbeaten in their last 5 games and 3 of those matches have ended in wins for them.

They were held to a draw by Alaves in their last league game however that wasn’t exactly a poor result considering the fact that Alaves are inside the top four at the moment.

The last 3 renewals of this fixture have ended in 2 wins and a draw for Valencia.

Valencia are currently bookies favourites to win this tie however Sevilla are closely matched and will undoubtedly have their supporters.

Kevin Gameiro is currently clear favourite to score the first goal however Michy Batshuayi, Miguel Andre Silva, Wissam Ben Yedder, Lorenzo Santi Mina and Luis Muriel are all priced within a single point.

This game gets underway at 15:15 BST.
