Villarreal take on the visitors Sevilla in the round 6 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, September 18th Estadi Ciutat de València (Valencia).
Villarreal are not fully justifying the expectations. Under Emery, the Yellow Submarine were able to first win the first-ever trophy, the Europa League, and last spring repeated their Champions League record by knocking out Juventus and Bayern Munich to reach the semi-finals. But all this in European competitions - and in the domestic arena there was a regression, up to 7th place according to the results of the last season. Now that the club is playing in the Conference League, they were waiting for a switch to the domestic arena. The start was really good for the “submariners”: 10 points in 4 matches with 0 missed. Even Atlético was beaten confidently in Madrid, 2-0. But in the last round, with another competitor, everything ended in 0-1 defeat.

Sevilla failed at the start of the new season. The decline started in the second part of previous season.But the worst thing for the fans is that even after the summer holidays and the renewal of the team during the transfer window, they could not add. On the contrary, they failed as expected in the Champions League (0-4 with Manchester City). Moreover, even against Copenhagen Sevilla failed to score, they finished 0-0! In the LaLiga, Nervionense lost three times in the first 4 rounds - not only to Barcelona (0-3 at home!), but also to Osasuna, and even to the newcomer of the division, Almeria. And with Valladolid at home, she snatched 1-1 due to a late goal by Requik. Only in the last round it finally broke through: Espanyol was defeated. The hero was Carmona, a 20-year-old defender with an assist and a double. But, having a lead by 3 goals, the team allowed the “parrots” to reduce the gap to a minimum. And after the sent-off of Lamela, they only fought back in the end.
The teams are quite equal, as shown by the statistics of recent years. But last season, Sevilla was better: a minimal win at home and 1-1 away. This Sevilla needs to be beaten, and it seems that Villarreal is ready to do it. We bet on the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win.
