Villarreal vs Sevilla Match Preview
Perhaps, Villarreal vs Sevilla won't attract as much attention as the local derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
Still, El Madridgal is expected to provide an electric atmosphere.
Sevilla sacked Manolo Jimenez during the week following their disappointing 1-1 draw against 20th placed Xerez. This issue has been making a lot of noise in the Spanish media especially and Los Nervionenses will pray not to lose concentration on the pitch against Villarreal.
Sevilla's goal is to clinch a Champions League spot this season but their latest results have seen them fall in the Europa League zone behind 4th placed Real Mallorca.
The fact is that Sevilla have not been able to clinch a single victory in their last 5 La Liga fixtures since they hammered Real Mallorca 3-1 away from home.
3 points from a possible 15 was obviously not enough for Los Nervionenses to remain in La Liga's top four at the moment.
The season is almost over and the club will hope to make the most of their opportunities to achieve their targets; but Villarreal might not let them run away with three points so easily.
The Yellow Submarines survived a real scare away to bottom side Tenerife on Wednesday. They had to clinch a late equalizer to grab a point and remain 9th in La Liga table.
Villarreal have set their eyes on Europa League football next season and defeating Sevilla on Sunday will definitely push them closer to accomplishing their wish.
