Valencia take on the visitors Sevilla in the round 31 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, April 11th at Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia).
Valencia have found themselves in this kind of situation more than once under Peter Lim’s ownership. One of the worst examples was the appointment of Gennaro Gattuso, which saw the club slip into relegation danger by early 2023. Bringing in Rubén Baraja at the time seemed like a populist move — a local legend to calm the fans — but he delivered results, avoiding the drop that spring and guiding Valencia to a solid 9th-place finish the following season. However, this campaign started poorly, and even Baraja couldn't turn things around. Things took a positive turn during the winter break when Carlos Corberán was brought in. Since his arrival, Valencia have only lost to the big clubs while consistently picking up points elsewhere. By spring, they not only escaped the relegation zone but also opened a comfortable gap from it. In the previous round, they even beat Real Madrid 2-1 at Mestalla — a huge statement win.

Sevilla still haven’t managed to turn things around. Los Nervionenses were once the undisputed fourth power in Spanish football, sitting behind the traditional big three. They frequently lifted the Europa League trophy, including in 2023 — even while struggling in La Liga. But last season, they remained stuck in the lower half of the domestic table and finished bottom of their Champions League group. This season, the board turned to Javier García Pimienta, who had done well at Las Palmas. Although there has been some improvement in style and structure, Sevilla's position in the standings hasn’t changed much — at least now there's no real threat of relegation. Still, form remains inconsistent. They’ve now lost three matches in a row, with the latest being a dramatic 1-2 defeat to Atlético Madrid thanks to a stoppage-time winner.
The last two meetings between these clubs ended in draws. Valencia are in excellent form right now — back them to grab another win here.
Prediction for the match: Valencia to win.
