Valencia - Sevilla predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Sevilla. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

The Sevillistas are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 3.44 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

Valencia lost an away game at Las Palmas in the previous round. The entire match was an uphill battle for them, and top online bookmakers priced an away win at odds of 3.14. As such, the 2:0 was somewhat predictable, even though Valencia managed to maintain a stalemate in the first half.

The Sevillistas are coming on the back of a superb performance in their most recent matchup against Atlético Madrid. The 2.11 betting odds marked them as the clear underdogs, but they overcame the disadvantage and pushed on to a 1:0 HT/FT victory.

Valencia’s form is fairly strong when it comes to offense – they netted 6 goals in the last three away games.

Our confidence that Sevilla will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

It will be interesting to see if The Sevillistas manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Valencia this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

Nemanja Gudelj, Marcão Teixeira, Nianzou Kouassi, Kike Salas, Mariano Díaz, Lucien Agoumé, Alejo Véliz have all been forced to stay out of this match due to various injuries. That’s one more disadvantage that the visitors will have to deal with on top of being the less likely team to win.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Saturday.
