Sevilla – Villarreal : Preview & Prediction
Sevilla FC, 4th in Liga, can take advantage of the Real Sociedad-Real Madrid clash to reach the podium. Indeed, the Andalusian club is only 1 unit from Atlético Madrid, 2nd, and Real Sociedad. The equation is simple, if the Sevillian club beats Villareal and Real Sociedad does not win the leader, then Sevilla FC will climb at least on the 3rd step of the podium. The Sevillians eliminated Cordoba (1-0 ap) this December 1 and rebounded well after their defeat on the lawn of Real Madrid (2-1). Ocampos’ partners had been undefeated in the league for 6 days before going to the leader !. Villareal, for his part, crushed Victoria CF (8-0) away this November 30 in the Spanish Cup … A qualifying without surprise which is still good for the morale of the “yellow submarine” which had been torpedoed and sunk in front of Manchester United (0-2) in the Champions League and against FC Barcelona (1-3) in La Liga. Unable to win an away league match (5 draws and 2 losses), Villareal should suffer another setback in Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan like last season (2-0).
Villareal has not won in La Liga for two days.
Sevilla FC have only lost 1 in the last 5 meetings, in all competitions.
Sevilla FC, 4th, is only one length off the podium. Victory is important to gain 1 place overall.
Villareal is vegetating in the soft underbelly of the standings at a little envious 12th place.
The Andalusian club won 2 goals to 0 at home last season.
Sevilla FC should win against a Villareal team still looking for an away victory in the Spanish league. The Andalusians can position themselves on the La Liga podium this weekend.
