On the occasion of the 15th matchday of LaLiga, the Sevilla FC visit this Sunday to Valencia CF with hardly any margin for error, taking into account the very poor streak of results that it has chained in the last matches in the domestic competition. It will be … from the 16.15 hours when Valencians and Sevillistas meet at Mestalla, in a match that will be refereed by Guillermo Cuadra Fernández.
Matías Almeyda will seek to renew the rhythm of his team, taking into account the five defeats that Sevilla has suffered in the last six league games (1-3 against Mallorca, 2-1 against Real Sociedad, 3-0 against Atlético de Madrid, 2-1 against Espanyol and 0-2 in the derby against Betis). For its part, Valencia has four official matches without losing (1-1 against Betis, 1-0 against Levante, 1-1 against Rayo Vallecano and 1-2 against Cartagena, in the Cup), since they did it for the last time a little over a month ago, against Real Madrid (4-0).

To the difficulties that the Sevilla team already suffers in terms of defensive errors that cost them points, now Almeyda has the setback of casualties. And the Argentine will not be able to count on up to seven players due to injury for this clash at Mestalla, such as Nianzou, Rubén Vargas, Januzaj, Gabriel Suazo, Marcao, Juanlu and Kike Salas. Added to them Isaac Romeroby sanction, and Alvaro Fernandezby technical decision.
Sevilla has visited Valencia on 101 occasions, with a background of 71 local wins, 17 draws and thirteen away wins. In the clash played at Mestalla last year, on the occasion of the 31st matchday of LaLiga, the Sevillistas increased their poor streak of results in Valencian territory by falling 1-0.
