Prediction: 1-1
Villarreal
Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan will be packed when Sevilla take on Villarreal in their first home game of the season. Los Sevillanos shared the spoils with Las Palmas in their opener and they will now try to record their first win of the process. Erik Lamela is no longer part of the team after joining AEK Athens earlier this term, while veteran Jesus Navas is pushing for a start. The good news for the hosts is that summer recruit Saul Niguez is back from suspension.
The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, played out a thrilling 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid in their opener. As Villarreal are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Summer signing Nicolas Pepe is pushing for his full debut, while the likes of Juan Foyth, Alfonso Pedraza, and Denis Suarez remain on the sidelines with injuries.
