Preview: Real Valladolid vs. Sevilla – Prediction, Team News, Lineups

Real Valladolid's struggle to avoid relegation continues on Sunday when they host Sevilla at Estadio Jose Zorrilla.

Valladolid have had a tough 2024-25 season, sitting 20th in the La Liga table, 8 points adrift of safety. Sevilla are 13th, coming off a heavy home defeat to Barcelona.

Match Preview
Real Valladolid, with just four wins, three draws, and 16 losses from 23 league matches, are at the bottom of the table with 15 points, trailing Leganes in 17th by 8 points.

They have scored the fewest goals in La Liga this season, managing only 15, while conceding 48 goals, the most in the league. This poor form explains their struggles, and it's a major challenge for coach Diego Cocca to keep the team up. A win here would boost the team's morale.

Valladolid are coming off four consecutive league losses to Espanyol, Real Madrid, Villarreal, and Rayo Vallecano, but will be glad to return home, where they have earned 12 of their 15 points this season.

The hosts have lost their last two meetings with Sevilla, including a 2-1 defeat at Estadio Ramon earlier this season. Their last win over Sevilla in La Liga came in December 2012.

Recent Encounters
While Sevilla have largely dominated this fixture, four of the last six La Liga encounters have ended in draws, including a 1-1 stalemate at Valladolid in March 2021.

Sevilla will enter this match following a 4-1 loss to Barcelona, which was their first league defeat since December. However, recent signs of improvement suggest they may still challenge for a better position.

Sevilla's Season So Far
Sevilla finished 14th last season, their worst finish since relegation in 1999-2000. Although their campaign this season has been disappointing, they are only three points behind seventh-placed Real Sociedad, so a top-half finish is still achievable.

Despite struggling on the road with only two wins in 11 away games, they face a Valladolid team that has scored just seven goals at home this season.

Team News
Valladolid will miss key player Raul Moro, who is sidelined with a collarbone injury. Marcos Andre is also unavailable due to suspension after accumulating a yellow card against Rayo Vallecano.

Coach Cocca will likely maintain the same starting XI as in their narrow defeat last time out, with the only change expected to be Andre's replacement by Juanmi Latasa, who is still searching for his first La Liga goal of the season.

For Sevilla, Jose Angel Carmona returns from suspension, while Loic Bade will miss the match due to a yellow card against Barcelona. Tanguy Nianzou, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Joan Jordan, and Akor Adams are all doubtful, but no fresh injuries were picked up in the last match.

Defensive absences will likely see Nemanja Gudelj drop back into the defense, allowing Lucien Agoume to step into midfield. Dodi Lukebakio, with nine goals this season, will continue on the right wing for Sevilla.

Real Valladolid Possible Starting Lineup:
Hein; Candela, Aidoo, J. Sanchez, Torres; Perez, Chuky, Nikitscher, Martin, Tuhami; Latasa

Sevilla Possible Starting Lineup:
Nyland; Carmona, Gudelj, Salas, Pedrosa; Agoume, Sow; Lukebakio, Saul, Vargas; Romero
