Sevilla vs Valencia

Sevilla have managed three wins in their last six matches, though they head into this fixture following a defeat and a draw in their most recent outings. In contrast, Valencia have struggled significantly, recording five losses and a single draw across their six most recent games in all competitions. Their domestic form has been particularly difficult, with the side failing to secure a win in their opening four league matches. Sevilla currently sit sixth in the league standings, whereas Valencia occupy the bottom position.

History between these two sides is limited to two recent meetings. Valencia hold the edge in those encounters, having remained unbeaten with one victory and one draw against Sevilla.

• Sevilla are without A. Sangante due to a red card and R. Vargas due to injury, with Marcao also in doubt.
• Valencia face a lengthy injury list with D. Foulquier, D. Lopez, J. Copete, S. Canos, and U. Sadiq all ruled out.
• Valencia have four additional players, G. Rodriguez, J. De Haas, L. Rioja, and M. Diakhaby, listed as in doubt for the match.
• Sevilla have earned seven points from their opening four league matches, while Valencia have collected just one.

Sevilla enter this fixture in a much stronger position based on their league standing and recent results. Given the extensive list of absences affecting the visiting squad, the hosts look better placed to dictate the play at home.
