Villarreal vs Sevilla Match Analysis & Prediction
11/05/2024 5:15 pm
Sevilla will be looking to continue their excellent run of form when they travel to Estadio de la Ceramica to face Villarreal on Saturday evening.
Villarreal’s hopes of making a late push into Europe suffered a setback last weekend when they suffered a 3-2 defeat to relegation-threatened Celta Vigo, with the result leaving them ninth in the table on 45 points.
Marcelino’s side are now seven points behind seventh-placed Real Betis with just four games remaining, so it is going to be difficult to secure European football next season, and there is no getting away from the fact that 2023-24 has been a disappointing campaign for the club.
A top-half position is on the cards, but a European spot is likely to be beyond them, especially as their fixture list is tough, with Girona and Real Madrid their opponents after this one, before finishing the 2023-24 campaign away to Osasuna on May 25.
The Yellow Submarine have struggled at home this season, picking up just 22 points from their 17 matches on home turf, while Sevilla have collected 18 points from their 17 games on the road this term.
Sevilla have also underachieved again this season, with Quique Sanchez Flores’ side sitting down in 12th place in the table, 11 points behind seventh-placed Real Betis and some 26 off the top four.
Los Nervionenses are also set to miss out on Europe, but their recent form has been impressive, winning four of their last five league matches, remaining unbeaten in the process.
The Europa League holders will enter this contest off the back of a 3-0 victory over Granada, and they are now just four points behind ninth-placed Villarreal, with a top-half spot within reach.
