Sevilla’s battle to avoid demotion from the top tier of Spanish football will persist this weekend as they face the soaring Valencia in an away game.
Valencia narrowly avoided relegation by finishing just above the relegation line in the 2022-23 season but are now in the upper half of the league table. Their improved performance is largely attributed to their impressive home form. Under the leadership of Rubén Baraja, the team has garnered 23 points at their home ground, Mestella, this season, a figure nearly double what they’ve managed to collect on their away games.
Meanwhile, Sevilla has transitioned from a team vying for European placements to a team battling relegation. Last season, Los Nervionenses ended just nine points above the relegation zone and are presently not far from the bottom three. Nonetheless, they approach this weekend with substantial confidence after securing two consecutive league victories for the first time this season.
Valencia vs Sevilla Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Apart from the 2-1 victory against Almeria earlier this month, Valencia’s latest matches have mostly been uninspiring. Rubén Baraja’s team didn’t manage to score in two of the past three games, and an equal number of games concluded with less than 2.5 goals.
Sevilla has been struggling to score goals recently. In their last four games across all competitions, Quique Sánchez Flores’ team has only managed to score more than one goal in a single match. They have conceded less than 1.5 goals in three of these games, and the same number of games ended with a maximum of two goals.
We anticipate a low-scoring game, as past encounters between Valencia and Sevilla at the Mestalla haven’t been known for their high entertainment value. The last five matches all ended with less than 2.5 goals. We predict Saturday’s match will follow the same pattern.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Valencia vs Sevilla prediction: 1-1

Valencia team news
The left winger, Diego López, has been absent from Valencia’s last four games because of a broken cheekbone. He will also miss this weekend’s game as it is too soon for him to return.
If Hugo Guillamón or Fran Pérez receive a caution on Saturday, they will face a one-match ban. However, head coach Rubén Baraja has no other urgent concerns.

Sevilla team news
Last time out, Sevilla had a massive victory over Atlético Madrid and suffered no injuries. Therefore, head coach Quique Sánchez Flores will likely avoid the temptation to rearrange his team.
Isaac Romero, who scored his third goal of the season in the previous game, will partner with Youssef En-Nesyri in the final third once again. Meanwhile, Sergio Ramos, a former Real Madrid player, will begin in defense.
Injury is expected to sideline Dodi Lukébakio, Nemanja Gudelj, Mariano Díaz, Lucien Agoumé, Marcão, and Tanguy Nianzou.
