Sevilla take on the visitors Valencia in the round 10 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 18th at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Sevilla).
Sevilla had suffered a serious setback already in the course of last season. And in the current one, everything quite expectedly ended with a change of mentor. And it seems that Lopetegui was able to hold out in office until October only because negotiations with his successor, Sampaoli, dragged on for several weeks. By the way, Jorge has already come to work for Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan under approximately the same conditions, and was successful - until he was lured into the Argentina national team. So far, the Latin American mentor is just starting to rake up these "Augean stables", and could not win. He made his debut 1-1 against Athletic in La Liga, then finished with the same score in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund. Finally, at the weekend it turned out to win. With a minimum score, 1-0, it turned out to beat Mallorca.

Valencia showed good progress last season under Pepe Bordalas. He moved up in the league table in LaLiga, and in the Cup only in the final and only on penalties lost to Betis. On the other hand, neither trophies were taken, nor a place sufficient to return to European competitions - and cooperation with this interesting specialist ended. Eccentric Peter Lim once again surprised by betting on Gennaro Gattuso. The Italian has coaching experience, and even a specific style, "sharpened" for motivation and attempts to squeeze out of wards on the field. In principle, Los Ches took this approach. It has a downside, in the form of an excessive number of “reds”, and the team simply cannot avoid misfires, such as the defeat of Rayo Vallecano. But in general, the statistics are decent, and there are more and more victories. So against this background, playing 2-2 with Elche looks like a failure. Moreover, after Cavani's double, the "bats" were in the lead, but in the end they allowed the underdog to recoup.
Sevilla are unbeaten for 6 head-to-head matches in a row. Moreover, the last 5 times they also defeated Valencia. Bookmakers believe that Sevilla will be stronger in this confrontation. Given that she plays at home, and Sampaoli is much more experienced than Gattuso, we dare to agree that White Andalusia can win.
Prediction for the match: Sevilla to win.
