The last time the pair played each other Sevilla came away as 0-2 winners, and rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind on Friday.

Sevilla vs Valencia Prediction

Sevilla Form

A solitary draw point prevents Sevilla from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short in a 1-2 defeat against Real Madrid, before drawing 1-1 with Roma. They came up empty-handed once again when Real Sociedad ran out as 2-1 winners. Sevilla claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the La Liga. They also drew two and lost two, scored eight goals and conceded nine.

Sevilla enter the season as candidates for a top three finish, but more than a third place would in the end would be a rather big surprise.

Valencia Form

Valencia claimed two points from their last three matches. They started by losing 1-0 at the hands of Mallorca, before drawing 2-2 with Espanyol. They secured a point in their latest encounter, a 1-1 draw against Real Betis. Valencia claimed two wins against one draw and three defeats in their last six away matches in the La Liga. The scoreline from these matches reads seven goals conceded and seven scored.

While safety is the foremost priority for Valencia, a top half finish is the ultimate dream for this term.

For whatever reason, Valencia and Sevilla usually find goals tough to come by, when facing each other, and history makes under 2.5 goals our call here.
