Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
All eyes will be on Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan when Sevilla and Villarreal square off against each other in an eagerly-awaited La Liga game. Los Sevillanos failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Real Sociedad, but they are still seen as slim favourites to beat the Yellow Submarine on home soil. However, home win should not be considered as both Sergio Ramos and Jesus Navas are banned for the match. The likes of Suso and Erik Lamela remain in the treatment room.
Villarreal, on the other hand, did well to beat Osasuna 3-1 on Marcelino’s return to the club and, no doubt, the new boss is capable of helping the Yellow Submarine improve their game. Given Sevilla’s important absentees, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from the match. A man to watch in the away team will be Jose Luis Morales, who scored a hat-trick against los Rojillos, while all Aissa Mandi, Yeremi Pino, and Alexander Sorloth continue to miss out with injuries.
