Sevilla vs Villarreal Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 23rd August 2024

Villarreal go up against Sevilla on Friday for a LaLiga meeting at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan.

Sevilla perhaps would have hoped for more in their opening match of the season, but eventually had to settle for a point.

Sevilla were most likely hoping for more from their opening match of the season, but nevertheless set off with a point in the table.

Nobody likes to be on the losing side, especially so early into a new season. Sevilla and Villarreal are no exception in this respect. Both teams are eager to improve from last term, leading us to expect an exciting affair at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan.

Sevilla only average a modest 1.4 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 14 goals. They also conceded 12 for an average of 1.2 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Villarreal are brimming with confidence in front of goal before the upcoming away match in the LaLiga, as they can show off very handsome numbers from their previous ten games. The visitors scored two times on average per match, for a total of 20 goals. They also let in 16 goals, leaving an average of 1.6 per match. They fought their way to two clean sheets.

The latest encounter between these two teams was a belter of a 3-2 match. Are we in for a similar goal-fest on Friday?

Sevilla vs Villarreal Prediction

Sevilla Form

In their last three matches, Sevilla lost 2-0 against Athletic Club, 1-2 against Barcelona and drew 2-2 with Las Palmas. Sevilla won three of their previous six matches at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan in the LaLiga. They drew zero and suffered three defeats, scoring ten goals to eight against.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Villarreal might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the LaLiga looks the most realistic scenario.

Villarreal Form

In their previous three matches, Villarreal drew 4-4 with Real Madrid, 1-1 with Osasuna and 2-2 with Atletico Madrid. Villarreal managed a decent return of three wins in their last six LaLiga away matches, in which they scored ten while also conceding eight times. They also experienced two draws and one defeat.

A top half finish is the bare minimum Villarreal will expect from this season. The visitors are targeting a spot in an international tournament and know a good start will leave them in a good stead.

Sevilla and Villarreal team up this coming Friday in a match both will hate to lose. This could be a match that fizzles out in a draw, with both very focused on not risky anything at all.
