A hit Sevilla gets a revived Villarreal

Sevilla and Villarreal come to their meeting this Sunday with even numbers, both in the bottom half of the table with 12 and 15 points, without forgetting that the Nervionenses have played one game less.

However, the emotional situation in both dressing rooms is very different. Diego Alonso’s men have just been knocked out of the Champions League with a very painful 2-3 defeat to PSV Eindhoven, despite having a favorable 2-0 for the expulsion of Lucas Ocampos, who he later joined Fernando’s.

There are five games in a row without a win and 11 of the last 12, with the only exception being the 0-3 in the modest Quintanar field. To this we must add that Sevilla arrives in this match in a frame, with several injured and players in the process of recovery, to which we must add the absences due to the suspension of two defensive references such as Sergio Ramos and Jesús Navas.

On the other side is a Villarreal that has won the three games played since Marcelino’s arrival, one in each competition. In this way, Castellón’s side has suffered only two defeats in its last nine matches and these took place against top-of-the-table rivals such as Athletic Club and Atlético de Madrid, so now it has reasons to be optimistic in the Sánchez- Pizjuán.

Second parts moved with Marcelino

If anything is clear to Villarreal fans with Marcelino on the bench, it is that they will not be able to keep calm beforehand.

First came the victory against Zamora in a forced extra time in the final minutes, then came the victory against Osasuna, who scored a total of four goals in the second half and on Thursday there was tension at the end when Panathinaikos lost by 3. 0 to go with a threatening 3-2 in the last half hour.

Bearing in mind that 10 of the 12 goals scored in those three matches came after the break, it’s tempting to bet that the second half will be the half that ends with the most goals, especially if that pattern also occurred in the second half. the four most recent matches played at the Sánchez-Pizjuán.

If we previously talked about Sevilla’s important losses, Villarreal seems to be favored even in that area, as the injury of a key striker like Alexander Sörloth has helped José Luis Morales make a splash.

Scoring three games in a row, with a saving double in the cup, a hat-trick in LaLiga and the decisive goal in the Europa League. We know that at some point his streak will come to an end, but with these numbers it is interesting to consider betting on another goal from the experienced striker.
