Sevilla vs. Valencia: Nervión Ready to Bite - Preview, Analysis, Prediction

September 11, 2026Pablo Navarro2 мин

Sevilla and Valencia will face each other this Friday at 9:00 PM at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. The Andalusian team, with seven out of twelve points in the league's opening, and good sensations, are sharpening their fangs against Corberán's team, who are at the bottom of the table, winless, and with only one goal scored versus nine conceded. Five of those were conceded last match against Barcelona at Mestalla, though Flick's team is playing in a different league. Sevilla does not want to revive their opponent.

García Plaza has a lot of experience in football, which is why he doesn't trust the bottom-of-the-table status when only four matches have been played. He knows what Sevilla wants: a team that goes for the win. With seven goals scored, they aim to be more solid defensively. They will be without Sangante, who is suspended and injured. He hasn't had much luck in his debut for the club. Vargas is also unavailable. The coach is determined to get him back. Sevilla fans are eager to see players like Stassin and Fofana.

Valencia arrives at the Sánchez-Pizjuán as the last-place team, with one point and only one goal scored in four matches. The team's performance in the last two games, against Deportivo and Barcelona, has left coach Carlos Corberán in a difficult position. Furthermore, he can barely add players to attempt a comeback. Guido and Rioja have not recovered, and the return of De Haas is forced by the lack of defensive options. After conceding eight goals in the last two encounters, the plan will start with not conceding.

Fofana vs. Elliott. The stars aligned, and José Ignacio Navarro was very shrewd in signing the Frenchman. His inactivity was noticeable in his debut, but his presence signifies a leap in quality for Sevilla's midfield. Elliott debuted last Sunday at Mestalla and could have his first opportunity as a starter against Sevilla.

Rocío Guevara's Prediction

Sevilla 2-0 Valencia

Football doesn't always make sense, but in a match between a team that always fights, plays at home, and has earned seven out of twelve points in the league's start, and the last-place team that hasn't won and is arriving at Nervión after conceding heavily... I'm betting on a home win.
