Valladolid vs Sevilla prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-02-15 15:15.
[p]Rooted to the foot of the table and eight points adrift of safety pre-round, things are looking bleak for Real Valladolid, who are facing an immediate return to the second tier. Four La Liga defeats in a row offers scant hope of a turnaround, nor does a 12-match winless top-flight run against Sevilla (D6, L6), who Valladolid haven’t beaten in this competition since December 2012. [/p]
[p]It’s hard to find many positives for Valladolid this term, but their recent home form will have helped build some belief as they’ve won two of their last three league games at Estadio José Zorrilla (L1). The sole defeat came in their last such outing against Real Madrid, but to regain their positive momentum they probably need to keep a clean sheet, as five of their six avoidances of defeat in home league action this season came with an accompanying shutout.[/p]
[p]Sevilla are placed comfortably in mid-table ahead of the round, but with just a six-point cushion to the drop zone, they won’t be resting easy just yet. A 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Barcelona last weekend was Sevilla’s first defeat in five La Liga games, albeit three of those ended in draws, meaning they’ll now look to avoid losing back-to-back league games for the first time since November 2024. [/p]
[p]Ensuring that record remains intact will also see them equal a club record for the longest-ever unbeaten streak against a single opponent in La Liga. The two prior instances saw Sevilla secure W7, D6 records over 13 unbeaten games, which is a positive omen considering the record currently stands at W6, D6, and boss GarcĂa Pimienta boasting a 100% winning record against Valladolid (W2) suggests history could repeat itself. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: A goal from Anuar could be a positive omen for Valladolid as his two La Liga goals this season have both served as the winner. RubĂ©n Vargas opened his Sevilla account against Barcelona – his last four club goals in league competitions have arrived before half-time. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Real Valladolid have faced the most shots in La Liga this season (369). [/p]
