Valladolid take on the visitors Sevilla in the round 34 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, May 14th at Estadio José Zorrilla (Valladolid).
Valladolid are currently positioned in 16th place in the La Liga standings. The battle for survival is still ahead, as they are separated from the relegation zone by just one point. There is no room for relaxation, and the home match against a fatigued Sevilla is an excellent opportunity to earn crucial points. I'm not sure if the white-purple team will succeed, but I expect them to score at least one goal. In the last five La Liga matches, Valladolid has never left the field without scoring, although they have kept a clean sheet only once: a victory against Girona (1-0) and Villarreal (2-1), and defeats against Valencia (1-2), Rayo Vallecano (1-2), and Atletico Madrid (2-5).

Sevilla, too, rarely leave the field without a shot on goal in recent times. The recent match against Girona (0-2) was the only exception in the last seven La Liga matches. In the remaining six games, under the guidance of Jose Luis Mendilibar, Sevilla recorded five wins and one draw. In half of these matches, they couldn't keep a clean sheet and played with both teams scoring: victories against Almeria (2-1), Villarreal (2-1), and Espanyol (3-2). I'm not sure if the Andalusians will take points from the Nuevo Jose Zorrilla stadium, but they are certainly capable of scoring at least one goal.
Sevilla have long secured a comfortable distance from the relegation zone and saved their season. They are not aiming for high positions in the league and are essentially just finishing their La Liga campaign. They have fully focused on their beloved Europa League, where they narrowly avoided defeat against Juventus in Turin a few days before their visit to Valladolid (by the way, the bet on both teams to score was successful) - a 1-1 draw with an Italian goal in the 97th minute. Valladolid is playing at home, highly motivated, while their opponent is fatigued. Valladolid is the clear favorite in this match and should score at least once. However, Sevilla has been in good form recently, so I also expect a goal from the visitors. The last four encounters between these teams ended in a 1-1 draw with an exchange of goals. Football is an unpredictable thing, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see a similar result in their fifth consecutive meeting. My prediction is Both Teams to Score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
