Sevilla vs Villarreal prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-09-22 19:30.
[p]Villarreal will hope to extend their strong start to 2025/26 and their winning streak over Sevilla when they head to Andalusia in search of their first away win of the season. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Sevilla have had a bizarre start that could be illustrated by just one of their five La Liga games to date being won by the betting favourite. Their seven points and top-half position means they have exceeded pre-season expectations, but their home fans are yet to share in the success. They may have expected more from Sevilla’s opening home games of the campaign where points were dropped against both Getafe (L 2-1) and Elche (D 2-2), results which have seen them win just one of their last 12 La Liga home games (D6, L5).[/p]
[p]Villarreal’s campaign has followed the more traditional path of collecting the bulk of their points – nine of ten – on home soil. The state of the table after five rounds, with all five of their games against clubs in the bottom half of the standings, suggests they’ve mostly made the best of a soft fixture list to open the season. This could perhaps be their toughest test of the season so far on paper and their challenge here is to take their imperious home form out onto the road, where they’re yet to win in any competition, including as favourites at Celta Vigo (D 1-1). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Villarreal completed a league double over Sevilla last season as part of a three-game H2H winning streak. Goals can be expected at both ends with the last seven H2Hs at any venue seeing both teams score. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Five of Sevilla’s last six La Liga home wins came via a 1-0 scoreline. [/p]
[p]Five of Sevilla’s last six La Liga matches produced over 2.5 total goals. [/p]
[p]The half-time and full-time results were the same in five of Villarreal’s last six league games, including their 4-2 win over Sevilla to end last season.[/p]
[p]Villarreal failed to score in five of their last six losses in all competitions.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Sevilla’s Isaac Romero recorded his fourth league goal of 2025 in their last home outing, with his team undefeated across those games (W2, D2). Pape Gueye is out to match last season’s haul of three La Liga goals after scoring last in wins over Osasuna and Real Oviedo, but it may be unlikely with his last six goals all coming at home. [/p]
[p]Alfon González is doubtful for Sevilla after going off early with an ankle injury at the weekend. Ilias Ahomach and Juan Foyth left Villarreal’s last game prematurely with injuries, whilst Ayoze Pérez missed the game and is expected to be unavailable. [/p]
