Comments and predictions for Sevilla vs Sunderland: Making things difficult for the home team

Latest Sevilla vs Sunderland team information

Sevilla have only signed players on free transfers so far. Alfonso Gonzalez made his debut in the defeat to Birmingham, while Gabriel Suazo remains unused.

Three pillars Ruben Vargas, Tanguy Nianzou and Akor Adams have returned from long-term injuries, but Loic Bade - the main centre-back - did not participate in the most recent friendly match and the possibility of playing is still uncertain.

Sunderland fans are expecting to see a number of new signings make their debuts against Sevilla, with Noah Sadiki, Simon Adingra and Reinildo all missing the South Shields clash.

New signing Habib Diarra played in that match, but Chemsdine Talbi is still not fully recovered from an injury sustained during his time at Club Brugge.

Aji Alese continues to be out for a long time with a broken leg. Meanwhile, young talent Chris Rigg - who has high expectations this season - also missed the opening match and his ability to play in the next match is still unclear.

Latest expected lineup Sevilla vs Sunderland

Sevilla:

Sunderland:

Patterson; Huggins, Ballard, Seelt, Hume; Neil, Diarra, Le Fee; Adingra, Isidor, Mayenda

Latest football commentary Sevilla vs Sunderland

Sevilla enter another crucial pre-season amid a steep decline for the once-proud La Liga outfit. After finishing 12th and 14th respectively in the previous two seasons, the Andalusian side have continued their slide in 2024–25, finishing 17th – just one point above the relegation zone – and winning just one of their final 11 games.

This precipitous decline is hard to believe for a club that won the Europa League in 2023 and was still in the Champions League just over a year ago. With the aim of a complete overhaul, Sevilla have appointed coach Matias Almeyda – the eighth person to sit in the “hot seat” in just three years.

However, Almeyda’s start has been less than stellar, with the team losing 3-1 to Championship newcomer Birmingham City in their most recent friendly. However, Sevilla still have time to regain their form before the new La Liga season kicks off against Athletic Bilbao on August 17.

After the match against Sunderland this weekend, Sevilla will continue to play friendlies against Schalke, Marseille, Al Qadsiah and Toulouse in the pre-season journey.

For Sunderland, the 2025–26 season marks the club's first return to the Premier League since 2017. The north-east side are currently busy preparing for their opening game against West Ham in mid-August.

Regis Le Bris' side enjoyed a convincing 4-0 win over local side South Shields. After the Sevilla game, Sunderland will face Sporting Lisbon, Hearts, Hull City, Real Betis and Augsburg over the next three weeks.

There is an air of excitement at the Stadium of Light, especially after the club spent more than £100m to strengthen their squad for their return to the Premier League – with several new signings still to be completed.
