Villarreal vs Sevilla Prediction and Betting Tip - Ods H2H and Preview Predictions

Villarreal vs Sevilla Preview

Sunday sees the curtain fall on the Spanish La Liga, with the final matchday set to settle old scores and important table positions.

However, when Villarreal host Sevilla, there will be very few viewers, with both sides' fortunes already confirmed. Villarreal have sealed fifth place and a Champions League spot for next season, while Sevilla sit four points clear of the relegation zone, meaning they are no longer at risk of demotion.

As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about both sides ahead of kick-off.

Where to Watch

This game will be broadcasted on La Liga TV and Premier Sports 1, with kick-off scheduled for 15:15 GMT on Sunday.

Key Statistics

• Villarreal are on a five match winning streak, and have lost just one of their last 10 fixtures.
• Alex Baena has been a creative force for Villarreal this season, creating the most chances of any players in the top flight with 94.
• Should Sevilla lose, they could finish 17th, which would be their lowest finishing position since 2000, when they finished bottom.
• Sevilla have beaten Villarreal just once in their last six meetings, and haven’t beaten them away from home since November 2017.

Villarreal Preview

Villarreal Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Luiz Junior (GK); Sergi Cardona, Logan Costa, Juan Foyth, Pau Navarro; Dani Parejo, Santi Comesana; Yeremi Pino, Alex Baena, Nicolas Pepe; Ayoze Perez.

Villarreal have finished the season in some style. Five victories in a row, including a 3-2 win of Barcelona, and scoring 12 goals in that time, they have looked irresistible in recent weeks, a turn of form which has seen them qualify for next season's Champions League comfortably.

A win here could even see them jump up to fourth place, knocking Athletic Bilbao down to fifth, but this would only happen if a 10 goal swing somehow takes place in the final day in order to remove Bilbao’s superior goal difference.

Villarreal are favourites here, and with former top six rivals Sevilla far from their usual selves, the home side should coast to victory like they have against other bottom half sides Girona, Leganes, Osauna and Espanyol in the last month.

Sevilla Preview

Sevilla Predicted Lineup (4-4-2):Orjan Nyland (GK); Jose Carmona, Kike Salas, Marcao, Juanlu Sanchez; Djibril Sow, Lucien Agoume, Nemanja Gudelj, Dodi Lukebakio; Alvaro Pascual, Suso.

It has been a season to forget for Sevilla - but it has not entirely come as a surprise. Their finishing position has been steadily falling for the last three seasons: Fourth in 2022, 12th in 2023, 14th last season, and a horrific 16th this campaign - and it could get worse.

While relegation is thankfully off the table, an Espanyol win culd see them jump above Sevilla, demoting them to 17th, the lowest spot in which a team can seal survival. If this happens, Sevilla will realise more than ever that change is needed.

They are not helped by the absences of Isaac Romero and Loic Bade, both of whom were shown red in Sevilla’s defeat to Real Madrid in their last outing. With a far from full strength lineup, and Espanyol breathing down their necks, sealing 16th, or even climbing higher, looks to be a tall task for Joaquin Caparros’ side.
