Sevilla-Valencia is a match from the first day of La Liga and is played on Friday at 9:30pm: likely lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
The first day of La Liga-not the opening match, the one between Almeria and Vallecano is played in the afternoon-gives an interesting clash between Sevilla and Valencia. With the hosts obviously favored for a variety of reasons. The most important one is the fact that they have rightly decided to give confidence after the Europa League victory to Mendilibar, the coach who seemed to be staying only for a few months. Instead, that was not the case.
Many on the other hand have been the changes from last season at Valencia. Starting even with the technical leadership with the bench being given to Baraja. The goal of the host formation for this season is to achieve a quiet salvation trying to put behind them all the problems of last year, when they sweated to the last to stay in the top Spanish league. A situation that they would rather not repeat in those parts, even though the roster is not even the same as last year’s. There is no Cavani, who did not show up for training camp and then left, and there is no Kluivert either, another element who, up there, could have made a difference. In short, not very well.
For these reasons, but also because the goals are decidedly different this season, Sevilla is starting with all the odds on its side. The Andalusians, who will again celebrate their Europa League victory before the match, will also be pushed by their own fans.

The Prediction
Sevilla widely favored. The Andalusians want to get off on the right foot and have all the technical qualities to do so. Even in the last friendlies, before the debut, they have shown this. So here it goes without saying that a victory for the hosts is largely preventable. In a match that could give at least three goals in total.
The probable lineups of Sevilla-Valencia
- SEVILLE (4-3-3): Bono; Jesus Navas, Gudelj, Badé, Pedrosa; Fernando, Rakitic, Oliver Torres; Ocampos, Romero, Suso.
- VALENCIA (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Bautista, Diakhaby, Paulista, Gaya; Guerra, Pepelu; Perez, Almeida, Castillejo; Duro.
