On Saturday night, Sevilla will look to continue their recent promising run of form as they visit the Mestalla to take on Valencia in La Liga.
Los Che is looking to bounce back after defeat last time outValencia has hit a slight bump in the road of late in La Liga, as a 2-0 defeat at Las Palmas last time out means that Ruben Baraja’s team has lost two of their previous three games in the Spanish top-flight.
The game against Las Palmas followed a common trend for Valencia of late, as it means that three of their last four games in La Liga have produced under 2.5 goals.
Despite defeat in their last match in the Spanish top-flight, the home team are still just three points adrift of the European spots.
Their recent home form in La Liga has kept their European hopes alive, as Los Che is unbeaten in seven Liga games at the Mestalla, having recorded three straight home victories.
Sevilla is enjoying a revivalThe Andalusians are enjoying something of a revival at the moment, as a 1-0 home win over Atletico Madrid last time out means that they have recorded back-to-back wins while also being unbeaten in three La Liga games.
The recent results have moved Sevilla up to 15th place in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone.
They still have work to do to be completely clear of danger, but their recent good results have certainly brought a bit of cheer to everybody connected with the club.
One concern for Sevilla this season has been their away form, as the 2-1 win at Rayo Vallecano last time out on their travels was only their second away victory in 13 outings in the Spanish top-flight.
What am I backing?Sevilla may have found some form of late, but the Mestalla is a hard place to go and leave with a result. I am backing Valencia to end Sevilla’s recent stellar run of form.
