The season started poorly for Sevilla with four straight matches without a win. Sevilla finally won on matchday No. 5 of the La Liga season 3-2 versus Espanyol.
Now, Sevilla are battling from near the bottom of the table. Los Rojiblancos have four points from 15 points available this season. On Sunday, Sevilla will visit the Estadio de la Ceramica to face off with Villarreal.
The Yellow Submarine are fifth in the league table after five matchdays. Ten points from 15 points available have been picked up by Villarreal.
Unai Emery’s team is coming off of a loss on matchday No. 5. Villarreal fell 1-0 to Real Betis in a top-six clash. The Yellow Submarine are seeking a win to get back on track. A victory and results going their way elsewhere could send Villarreal into the top three.
The last six matches between Villarreal and Sevilla finished with two wins, two draws, and two losses apiece. In 2021-22, Sevilla took four points from six points on offer versus Villarreal.
Villarreal have three points from three points at home this season. Sunday’s match will be just their second fixture at the Estadio de la Ceramica this season. Their previous home match against Elche finished 4-0.
Sevilla will play their fourth away match of the season. Three points were picked up from nine points on offer away from home for Sevilla. Julen Lopetegui’s team won on the road against Espanyol last time out.
Lopetegui will be without forward Erik Lamela as Argentine serves a suspension for the match. Teixeira Marcao has a hamstring injury and is a major doubt to play. Forward Jesus Manuel Corona is nursing a ligament injury. He will miss the match.
Emery has four players receiving treatment at the Estadio de la Ceramica. Midfielder Manu Trigueros has a muscle injury and is a doubt.
Forward Gerard Moreno has a hamstring problem and is out of action until October. Defenders Juan Foyth and Alberto Moreno are both set to miss the match as well through injury.
Sevilla did the double over Villarreal last season. However, Los Rojiblancos are in poor form. They were outscored 10-6 in the opening five matches of the campaign. Villarreal allowed one goal in the opening five games of the La Liga season.
Villarreal’s defence should play well once more. Sevilla’s goal-scoring chances will be limited as Villarreal post a win. The Yellow Submarine should win 3-1.
