Comments and predictions for Sevilla vs Villarreal: Decisive blow in the second half

Latest Sevilla vs Villarreal team information

Sevilla remain without Joan Jordan, while Alfon Gonzalez remains a doubt after being taken off early in the win over Alaves.

Sanchez – who replaced Alfon at Mendizorroza – is likely to make his first start since joining the club on a free earlier this month.

Juanlu Sanchez is also hoping to return to right-back after being benched in round 5.

For Villarreal, Juan Foyth and Ayoze Perez continue to be absent due to injury.

Their injury list also includes Logan Costa, Pau Cabanes, Willy Kambwala and Gerard Moreno, while Ilias Akhomach is a doubt after being substituted at half-time in the win over Osasuna.

To keep the team fit for the busy schedule, coach Marcelino can rotate the squad, giving starting opportunities to Santiago Mourino, Renato Veiga, Sergi Cardona, Santi Comesana, Tajon Buchanan and Manor Solomon.

Latest football commentary Sevilla vs Villarreal

Coach Matias Almeyda had a difficult start to his coaching career in La Liga, when Sevilla lost both of their opening matches against Athletic Club and Getafe.

However, his side quickly improved their form, picking up two away wins against Girona and Alaves, sandwiched between a 2-2 home draw with Elche.

Against Alaves, Ruben Vargas opened the scoring but Carlos Vicente equalised, before Alexis Sanchez sealed a 2-1 win in the second half. With this goal, Sanchez became Sevilla's third oldest La Liga scorer in the 21st century, at 36 years and 275 days.

The win helped Sevilla move up to eighth in the table, three points behind fourth-placed Espanyol.

Despite their current form, Sevilla are still among the seven teams yet to win at home this season, and this will be a motivation for them to be determined to take all three points in Tuesday's match. However, they will also need to be cautious, having failed to win in four consecutive matches at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan since a 2-1 victory in April 2023.

Villarreal travel to Sevilla in third place, having won three, drawn one and lost one of their opening five La Liga games.

All three of Villarreal's wins have come at the Estadio de la Ceramica, including the first two of the season against Real Oviedo and Girona.

The Yellow Submarine then slumped after having to play three consecutive away games, drawing with Celta Vigo before losing to Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur in La Liga as well as the Champions League.

However, they returned to winning ways last weekend when they came from behind to beat 10-man Osasuna 2-1, thanks to Georges Mikautadze and Pape Gueye.

Despite winning all home games, Villarreal are facing the risk of going three consecutive away games without a win in La Liga – something that has not happened since January 2024.

Confidence for Marcelino's team comes from the fact that they have won all three of their most recent encounters with Sevilla, including a 2-1 victory in their most recent away trip to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in August 2024.
