Sevilla vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting tips
The Spanish league has no Christmas holidays and so the players were only given a very short break over the holidays, because the next round is before the turn of the year.
On the program is a direct duel between two candidates for an international starting place. Seville, in particular, has improved significantly compared to the start of the season in recent weeks, with a win on Tuesday the next competitor could be overtaken.
The almost impregnable villa area now stands in the way. The “yellow submarine” has so far impressed with its extremely efficient football. If you only lose one season, it is clear that you are at the top of the table and by no means travel to Seville as cannon fodder.
Accordingly, the odds are relatively evenly distributed at Sevilla against Villareal, because there is no clear favorite. We are also assuming a close exchange of blows and are looking forward to an exciting football evening. But from which bets can profits be expected?
Seville :
With five wins from the last seven games, the Andalusians were able to rehabilitate themselves for the weak start to the season. The upcoming opponent is a tough nut to crack.
In any case, the Champions League round of 16 is not satisfied with the current sixth place in the table. There is still enough time to work your way forward in the table.
A major problem of the Lopetegui-Elf is currently the very low goal scoring. In the current season, the league has an average of just over one goal per game. In general, Sevilla could only score more than one goal in two league games.
Even the constant line-up of three strikers has so far not been able to increase the yield. In view of these numbers, Seville vs. Villareal to make a forecast on only a few hits.
In terms of results, the southern Spaniards are certainly the minimalists of the league, but at least they keep their own box tight. In the past five league games they only conceded two goals, and in total it was ten times behind goalkeeper Bono.
In the home game against fourth place in the table, the coach now has his entire team at his disposal, because there is not a single regular player among the La Liga suspensions / injuries.
Even if in Seville vs. Villareal, the betting odds tend to speak for the hosts, a home win will certainly not be easy, because the guests have so far only been able to beat Barcelona. An exciting duel is inevitable.
Villarreal :
The team from Valencia is doing extremely well this season. In addition to six wins this season, there are now eight draws. A division of points is thus the current standard result, so there have been five draws in the past six games.
Coach Emery’s side has been unbeaten abroad for six games. This series should continue with the six-time Europa League winner. The key to success is the defense, because in the current season it only conceded more than one goal in one game.
In the last four away games, an average of two goals were scored. If this rate is maintained on Tuesday then a win is certainly possible. Overall, however, the record with 20 goals from 15 league games is not exactly outstanding.
With the ex-Dortmund Paco Alcacer, the best goalscorer will be injured in the coming duel. Moreno is hardly inferior to him with eight goals this season and will probably be able to jump into the breach without any problems.
As has often been done in guest appearances, the coach could also fall back on the more defensive 4-4-2 system. In contrast to the mostly practiced 4-3-3, there should be fewer goals than usual on both sides.
Since the two teams are not necessarily known for regular goal fireworks anyway, Seville vs. Villareal to make a prognosis for a tactical game, in which both sides will probably wait and see.
