Valencia vs Sevilla Prediction, Preview, Predicted Lineups and Team News | La Liga

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: 11 April 2025
• Kick-off Time: 5:00 pm GMT
• Venue: Estadio de Mestalla, Valencia, Spain

Matchday 31 of the 2024/25 La Liga season will include Valencia hosting Sevilla at the iconic Mestalla on Friday evening. The two sides are a part of the tradition in Spanish football. Valencia is in 15th position in the league while Sevilla is in 12th, owing to 36 points from 30 games. With the season entering into its final stages, it will be crucial for both clubs to gear up and fight for their survival in the top tier of Spain. The Valencia vs Sevilla fixture has produced some absolute classics over the years, and fans will expect nothing less this time around too.

Valencia will be content with how the recent games have played out. In the last six matches, the club has managed three victories, two draws, and just a single defeat. The highlight of this run was undeniably the victory against Real Madrid on Sunday. Carlos Corberan's men displayed incredible grit to defeat the defending champions at the Bernabeu. Valencia will need to replicate those displays for the business end of the season to stay in the top flight. Hugo Doro is the top scorer this season in the league for Valencia with eight goals, while Diego Lopez has the most assists (four).

Sevilla will not be pleased or satisfied with its recent results. The team has collected just a single victory to go with two draws and three defeats in the last six matches. During this period, Sevilla has scored just five goals and conceded seven. The talent in the Sevilla squad is undeniable, but the players will need to step up to ensure a mid-table finish this season. Sevilla has scored four goals in the last five matches, and Dodi Lukebakio has created the most big chances for the club (seven).

Key Players to Watch in Valencia vs Sevilla

Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia)

Valencia's win over Real Madrid can be very well attributed to the heroics of Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Georgian keeper made eight saves, including one from the penalty spot.

Ultimately, he was able to keep out the Madrid attackers and regain the admiration of the football fans, which had somewhat diminished due to his inconsistencies this season. Giorgio Mamardashvili can expect another busy evening against Sevilla. He has made 67 saves this season and has kept six clean sheets.

Suso (Sevilla)

While Suso might not start the game against Valencia, there is little doubt that he will be used by the coach as a substitute. Suso has been a loyal servant to the club for several years and has hence become a fan favourite. He is yet to register a goal contribution this season and will be eager to do the same against Valencia. His primary position is the right-midfield but he can also be deployed further up the pitch.

Valencia vs Sevilla Prediction

Valencia will be up and running following that victory over Real Madrid. However, inconsistencies have been the biggest concern for the club this season and Sevilla will be confident to take advantage of that shortcoming and get the three points.

Predicted Score: Valencia 1-2 Sevilla
