SEVILLA VS VILLARREAL PREVIEW & PREDICTION
The Andalusian side leaves as a favorite due to the collective potential that it possesses and above all because it is vertical when it acts in the Sánchez Pizjuán. For that reason and knowing that the boys of Montella are being intense at home, we believe that their simple win is the most interesting option to bet. Remember that the “Yellow Submarine” has been very irregular in his actions, costing him to defend well as a visitor.
Seville:
The Andalusians played against Bayern Munich on Wednesday for the Champions League in Germany (draw 0-0 and elimination of the tournament with dignity). In the Spanish tournament, they lost 4-0 to Celta in Balaídos, staying with 46 units in total. The team has added 4 matches without winning, product of 1 draw and 3 losses, being overtaken by Betis in the fight to qualify for the next Europa League. You need to win to regain lost confidence.
As a local, Sevilla has reaped acceptable but diverse results in the Sánchez Pizjuán (8 wins, 4 draws and 3 falls, scoring 24 goals and conceding 18 on his fence). It comes to beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0, to lose 0-2 with Valencia and to equal 2-2 against Barcelona after winning 2-0 with just a few minutes remaining for the final whistle. For the Champions League, he drew 0-0 with Manchester United and lost 1-2 to Bayern Munich.
Villarreal:
The “Yellow Submarine” lost 1-3 to Athletic Bilbao as a visitor, ratifying their irregularity in terms of results. These days, it is in sixth place with 47 points, still holding its place in the next Europa League. Of course, he has lost two in a row, still having close to his closest pursuers in this fight (Girona at 3 distance and Sevilla at 1). Another fact is that Betis has exceeded it by two points in the table.
Far from the Madrigal, Villarreal has registered diverse markers, after winning 6 matches, matching 3 others and losing the remaining 7 that he played (15 points in favor and 19 against). His last outings were the following: Draw 1-1 with Espanyol, defeat 1-0 with Eibar, victory 0-2 against Las Palmas and defeat 1-0 against Malaga.
Both met in the first round at Madrigal and the result ended up being favorable for Sevilla after winning 2-3 at Madrigal (November 2017). In the Sánchez Pizjuán, they equalized 0-0 in February 2017. The last triumph of the Andalusians against their people was in March 2016 (4-2).
PREDICTION: Sevilla to win @ 1.85
