Neither Sevilla nor Villarreal had a positive start to this season. Both teams recorded a highly competitive 2-2 draw in their opening Laliga match this season. Sevilla locked Las Palmas on the road while Villarreal drawn against Atletico Madrid at home.
Sevilla will hope to turn around things with the home advantage in the second match, but the test won’t be easy as the Villarreal side has evaded a widely expected defeat in their opening match. However, Sevilla was unbeaten in four of their last five matches, while Villarreal was winless in four of their last five matches.
Moving on, Sevilla was unbeaten in five of their last six head-to-head matches against Villarreal. Sevilla can also rely on the recent tradition at this venue as they follow a four-match unbeaten streak and have won three in that period. The last two clashes had goals from both ends, which are noteworthy.
Sevilla vs Villarreal Prediction
Sevilla is looking decent at home as they were victorious in the last two matches in a row. The team has won six of their last 10 matches in all competitions. Meanwhile, Villarreal is having an unimpressive form on the road. They are on a four-match winless streak on the road.
In fact, they won just twice in the past six road trips and have faced Sion in the game they won in that period. Considering the recent stats of both, we are in favor of Sevilla, as they have been consistent in sealing victories.
Additionally, three of the last five home matches of Sevilla had goals from their opposition and four of the last six away matches of Villarreal saw their offense scoring. Since their recent h2h clashes had goals from both ends, we like to back the over 2.5 goals and both teams to score option.
