Sevilla vs Valladolid: Match Preview for the Spanish Championship
Sevilla started the La Liga season poorly, but hopes for a successful campaign are still alive. Can the hosts secure a victory on September 24 against Valladolid, a team that has always posed a challenge? Our experts have evaluated the teams' chances and the best betting options for this matchup.
Command Analysis
Sevilla
SpainCurrent Form
Sevilla's strong start to the La Liga campaign took a hit over the weekend as they lost 2-1 to Alaves, marking their third consecutive loss this season. They fell behind in the first 20 minutes and could not mount a comeback, a trend that has plagued them as they have not won any of their last 26 league matches in which they conceded first. This is the third straight season where Sevilla has only won one of their opening six La Liga games, and with the previous season ending in four straight defeats, it’s clear that new manager Garcia Pimienta is facing deeply rooted issues.
Injuries and Suspensions
Lokonga is sidelined with a muscle injury, while Markao is out due to a broken nose.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Dodi Lukebakio has emerged as Sevilla's main goal threat, consistently stepping up when needed as four of his last five goals have come in the 80th minute or later.
- Sevilla has lost four of its last five matches at home.
Projected Lineup: Nyland – Sanchez, Nyanzou, Martinez, Pedrosa – Bueno, Carmona, Sou – Lukebakio, Romero.
Real Valladolid
SpainCurrent Form
Valladolid mirrored the start of Sevilla's season with a 1-0 victory over Espanyol in the opening weekend, a feat that now feels like a distant memory. Since then, manager Paulo Pezzolano has faced challenges as his struggling attack has scored only one goal following that triumph, managing a scoreless draw against Real Sociedad last Saturday, marking yet another disappointing performance. Another stalemate may be the best they can hope for today, as away games in the top division have always been a struggle for the Pucelas.
Disciplinary Issues and Injuries
Anuar (hernia), Sanchez (muscle injury), and Perez (ankle injury) will miss the match.
Interesting Betting Trends
- In just four of Valladolid's last 16 matches have both teams scored.
- Raul Moro of Valladolid will be eager to find the net early as he has scored the opening goal in three of his last four scoring appearances.
Probable Line-up: Ferreira – Rosa, Torres, Boyomo, Comert, Ruiz – Perez, Chucky, Koke – Salla, Ndiaye.
