Valladolid vs Sevilla Match preview

Spain - Primera Division: Valladolid vs Sevilla

Sevilla’s ten-point gap over Valladolid points to the fact that Andalusian side are the favourites in Sunday game. The team from the capital of Castille suffered a minimum loss to Getafe in Madrid seven days ago thus dropping on 15th a point away from the relegation zone. After three successive wins and excellent play, Sevilla failed unexpectedly at home against Malaga so they will be looking to compensate at Nuevo Jose Zorilla.

The main aim is to avoid defeat

After three straight defeats Valladolid are ina very delicate situation. After good performance and results in the opening four rounds, defeats followed which is why they must chase victory against very strong rivals on Sunday. No one can even think about the defeat. A draw would be acceptable and a win over Seville would bring back the confidence. Valladolid will start the hell cicle of games in November when they meet first with Barcelona, then Real Madrid and they will end the month with Villarreal. Only seven points is not a good supply before such a difficult schedule. Coach Jose Luis Mendilibar is troubled as his team faces serious scoring problems. Goitom who came from Murcia as a very important back up in the attack hasn’t yet fit in. Victor is out of form so all the burden falls on Ogbeche who can’t do much on his own. Only six goals scored is not so much of a threat for the best defense in the league.

Making up for the last week’s failure

Although they are one of the title favourites, Sevilla again show their flaws in the moments when they have the chance to become the leaders. A defeat by Malaga at Sanchez Pizjuan in front of their fans made the fans furious. Now they are in for an away game in Valladolid where they traditionally don’t have much success. The Purple can be very dangerous although they always fight to survive. Andalusian side will have a hard time in defeating Valladolid. Although their rivals have materialization problems, their defense is very good and the midfield is flexible and specialized to distract the opposing attackers. Mendilibar is known to be a very skilful expert and a great tactician who probably studied Sevilla' play in detail. Andalusian side can definitely rely on their quality but not on the psychological stability in crucial moments. Similar things happened to them last season so we are yet to see if they are able to overcome their own oscillations in the play and the results.




Betting Verdict

Sevilla are the favourites and it is only logical to expect them to win. an surprise, especially against the favourites. Real barely got away alive last season, Atletico fell on Zorilla this season while Villarreal and Barcelona had a hard time in Valladolid.
