Valencia take on the visitors Sevilla in the round 29 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, April 16th at Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia).
For the first time since the 1986/87 season, the Bats could be relegated to the second division in Spain. Their chances of staying in La Liga are getting smaller with each passing round. Yes, they can still survive, but they need to win or at least earn points. And that's where Valencia is having problems. In the last five rounds, the team has only won once. In the last three matches, they have only earned one point with two defeats. In the previous round, the Bats lost to a direct rival in the survival battle (Almeria 1-2). You might say that Valencia plays better at home? Yes, but in the last match of the league at their home stadium, the team did not win either and only managed to avoid defeat in the very end of the match (1-1 with Rayo Vallecano).

Sevilla, who are also still fighting for survival, is visiting the "flying bats". Andalusians are only five points away from the relegation zone, so it's too early to relax. Yes, Sevilla's strong point is home matches. But in their last away match of the championship, this team managed to take three points by beating Cadiz (2-0) - another direct competitor for survival. In the last four La Liga rounds, Sevilla has two wins, one draw, and only one defeat. And the guests will approach this match in good spirits, as they recently managed to snatch a draw at Old Trafford in the Europa League, coming back from 0-2 down to 2-2 against Man Utd.
One can say as much as they want about the fact that Valencia needs to win, that the team needs to get out of the relegation zone, and that the home factor is on their side. But motivation alone won't get them far, and the "flying bats'" opponent has not yet secured their place in La Liga either. Yes, Valencia will attack with great force in hopes of winning. But perhaps that's exactly what will ruin the hosts. We all know that playing on the counter-attack is Sevilla's strong point. And judging by their recent head-to-head matches, the Andalusians are a very uncomfortable opponent for the "flying bats." Valencia hasn't won any of their last five such matches - three defeats and two draws. I think the guests will at least grab one point in this match. The bet is X2.
Prediction for the match: Sevilla not to lose (X2).
