Sevilla FC vs. Valencia CF
In Spain, just like in Italy, the action already resumes during the week. The sixth matchday in La Liga is just around the corner. There, Sevilla FC will receive Valencia FC. Both clubs are overshadowed by the big Spanish clubs FC Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, but play internationally almost every year. The upcoming home team Sevilla is even one of the secret favourites for the championship title this year.
Sevilla FC is in fifth place in the table and has not yet been defeated. Valencia have already lost one match, but have already won three and are currently third in the table. The team from Andalusia has won the last three direct duels. Whether this trend will continue remains to be seen. Find out more about this match in our Sevilla vs. Valencia betting tips

Sevilla Form & Balance Check
Sevilla FC have not quite lived up to their role as secret favourites so far. Coach Lopetegui’s team only drew against Real Sociedad San Sebastian in the league and against Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League. The Andalusians, however, have not yet lost a game and therefore certainly have a lot of self-confidence. They are unbeaten in six games across the competition and are on the up.
Sevilla are Valencia’s fearsome opponents
Sevilla has been particularly fond of playing Valencia FC in recent seasons. The last four games Navas and Co. have all won by nil. In total, the Andalusians are unbeaten in five games against Valencia FC. Therefore, we suspect that Sevilla will also be victorious in the upcoming match. Their defensive concept seems to work particularly well against Valencia FC’s strikers.
Sevilla facts & analysis
– They are currently in sixth place in the table.
– Sevilla are unbeaten in five games against Valencia
– The Andalusians have yet to lose a game this season
Valencia form & balance check
Valencia have beaten Deportivo Alaves and CA Osasuna by three goals difference each. In Valencia, the fans were eagerly awaiting the game in their own stadium against Real Madrid. For a long time, everything went according to plan in the match against the royals: Valencia defended the stars of the Madrilenians excellently and even took the lead in the 66th minute. However, Vinicius Junior equalised in the 86th minute and just two minutes later Benzema scored to make the final score 2-1 for the team from the Spanish capital. Valencia’s form curve suffered a dip as a result of this defeat.
Valencia’s offensive power
Only one team has scored more goals in their opening league games than Valencia FC. Their last opponents, Real Madrid, were allowed to cheer an incredible 15 times in their first five league games. Valencia, on the other hand, have scored ten times, making them the second best offensive team in the Spanish top flight. Therefore, we suspect they will score at least once against Sevilla.
Valencia facts & analysis
– They are currently in third place in the table.
– Valencia last lost 2-1 against Real Madrid
– They have the second best offense in their ranks
Predicted line-up – last update on 20 September 2021
We suspect that Sevilla will rotate little and could start with a similar starting line-up as they did against Real Sociedad San Sebastian. Sevilla operate in a classic 4-3-3 system. Coach Lopetegui has experimented with different starting formations. For the last three games, however, his team has been playing in a 4-3-3 system.
The Valencia FC coach currently favours a classic 4-4-2 system with Gomez and Guedes up front. The attacking duo complement each other perfectly, as Guedes brings a lot of speed and Gomez provides a physical presence in the penalty area.
