Valencia
The Bats have three wins on the bounce coming into the game with Sevilla.
Salvador Voro has done a huge job on Valencia’s bench since taking over Cesare Prandelli.
The team is playing much better in the final third and they are already on the brink of joining the top half of the league standings.
Valencia scored at least three goals in each of their last three wins over Deportivo La Coruna, Celta de Vigo and Granada.
Sevilla
Sevilla have been quite easy to break down lately and keeping his team’s net will be a major task for Jorge Sampaoli in the clash against the red-hot Valencia’s side.
Sevilla lost touch with Real Madrid and Barcelona at the top of the table, but they are still seven points clear ahead of Villarreal in the 4th position which leads to the Champions League qualifiers in the next season.
Valencia vs Sevilla: Head to head
Valencia have a better record as they lead the tie by three wins, but Sevilla came out victorious from the previous encounter at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
However, it is important to note that Mestalla has been a fortress for the Andalusian pride lately as the Bats won each of the last five home fixtures with Sevilla.
Valencia vs Sevilla: Prediction
We simply have to stick to both the tradition and the current form and take the huge-value 6/4 odds on Valencia to pick up a victory over Sevilla.
We also expect to see an open game between two attacking-oriented teams so backing goals would be a wise choice as well.
