Sevilla hosts Valencia in round 36 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 12th at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Sevilla)
Sevilla players have performed quite well in the last ten rounds (seven victories and two draws), but they have lost points in the endings of the previous two matches. In the match against Granada (2-1), the goal conceded in the final minute did not affect the result but only slightly spoiled the mood. But the goals conceded from Athletic Bilbao (0-1) and Real Madrid (2-2) in the 90th and 94th minutes, respectively, seem to put the team's dreams of a podium into serious doubt.

Valencia is actually playing out the championship and preparing for the new season. A streak of six matches without victories (three defeats and three draws) became the reason for the dismissal of Xavi Gracia from the post of the head coach. In the previous round, the club defeated Valladolid, which is balancing next to the relegation zone (3-0). But the Bats are unlikely to repeat such an outcome in the match against Sevilla, as a sheer desire will not be enough.
The new head coach of Valencia will probably have to start rebuilding the game from the defense, as his team conceded 51 goals in 35 rounds and kept a clean sheet in only six of them. But the hosts are significantly better in this indicator. Sevilla conceded much less than Valencia (29 goals), and this is the 3rd best figure after Real Madrid (26) and Atlético (22). The Red-Whites scored 51 goals, and a third of them (17) was created through the efforts of the club's top scorer Youssef En-Nesyri, who left his name on the scoreboard in recent victorious matches against Real Sociedad and Levante. In the last head-to-head confrontations, the advantage was on the side of the Andalusians, who should win now, as they still have chances of competing for a place in the top three. They just need to get rid of an incomprehensible relaxation (or to minimize banal fatigue) in the endings, and Lopetegui and his coaching staff must cope with this problem in the very near future. The Bats have no serious tournament motivation. They are waiting for fundamental changes with a new coach. We think that the hosts will manage to add three points to their piggy bank.
Prediction for the match: Sevilla to win
