Villarreal vs Sevilla Prediction

Villarreal Form

Villarreal are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Almeria by 1-2, before beating Rayo Vallecano by 3-0. The winning streak came to an end against Celta Vigo, who ran out 3-2 winners. Villarreal won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the La Liga, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored 11 and conceded four goals.

Villarreal were hoping to qualify for Europe, but this target looks increasingly difficult to reach, as we are reaching the business end of the season.

Sevilla Form

In their last three matches, Sevilla beat Mallorca 2-1, drew 1-1 with Real Betis and beat Granada by 3-0. Sevilla won twice, while also recording three draws, and one defeat in their last six away matches in the La Liga. The scoreline from these matches says four goals conceded and six scored.

They were hoping to book a ticket for a European competition, but as the season nears it end, Sevilla look to be drawing a blank this season.

Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, Villarreal get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in Sevilla.

Villarreal took 30 points from their last 18 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the La Liga table. This amounts to eight wins after scoring 31 times and conceding 24. Sevilla scored 13 goals and conceded 25 in their last 17 encounters with teams in the top half of the La Liga. This lead to three wins and 14 points. Villarreal claimed 12 wins, nine draws as well as 13 defeats in the La Liga this season. Sevilla enjoy a record of ten wins, 11 draws and 13 defeats in the La Liga.
