Team News

Valencia
  • Valencia suffered a 5-1 defeat against Barcelona at the Nou Camp last time out. The ‘ches’ took an early lead, but then it all went downhill.
  • Despite the outcome, goalkeeper Diego Alves had an amazing game, making 11 saves.
  • Right backs Barragan and Bruno are doubtful for this match. Meanwhile Miguel will miss at least one month.
  • Midfielder Banega picked up a bizarre injury as his own car ran over his foot whilst he was putting petrol in it and broke his ankle. He will be out for the rest of the season.
Sevilla
  • Míchel earned his first victory as Sevilla’s coach in his home debut against Osasuna.
  • Sevilla played with two strikers against Osasuna. However, Míchel will probably go more defensive playing in Mestalla.
  • Also, it remains to be seen if Kanouté is fit enough to play two straight matches as he has been bothered by injury lately.

Prediction

  • Valencia will be missing several key players for this match and Emery’s side haven’t got a rest this month as they are still in all three competitions.
  • Sevilla have a good opportunity to prove they still are a big team in Spain, which they could do by beating the third best team at the moment. Plus, they can take advantage of Valencia's many absentees.
  • Expect an interesting match at Mestalla with two teams tending to play brilliant yet similar football. Valencia may have the upper hand playing at home but this game could go either way.
