Valencia-Sevilla is a match on the 29th day of La Liga and is played on Sunday at 9:00 pm: likely lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
If someone had told me at the beginning of the season that Valencia-Sevilla, at this point in the league, would be a match that put points at stake for salvation would you have believed it? Hardly, indeed, you would have answered: impossible. Yet it is so.
Two teams that started their league very badly and now find themselves fighting for permanence. Obviously Sevilla-which has a five-point lead over the relegation zone with a couple of useful results has definitely started to breathe-but this has not been done by Valencia, which if La Liga ended now would be relegated. In short, points matter, especially for the hosts who can take advantage of the fact that the Andalusians played last Thursday in the Europa League (drawing 2-2 against Manchester United away) to make a positive result and will have to do so again next week.
European commitments will undoubtedly weigh heavily in this match.The guests are thinking about making it to the semifinals also because the result pulled out of England-lucky, since it came in the final and with two own goals-leaves all possibilities open for qualification to the EL semifinals. In short, the thought is there, and Cavani and co. could take advantage of it.
The Prediction
Hard to see an outside win. In fact, we would say impossible. In this match, Valencia is favored, who must think only of the championship unlike a Sevilla whose head is definitely on next Thursday. But the Andalusians, losing, cannot afford it. In short, tie game basically. With the possibility – minimal – of a home win.
