Valencia and Sevilla will clash at the Mestalla Stadium on Sunday evening in a game that seems evenly matched.

After successfully beating Stoke City in midweek, Valencia will try to outclass Sevilla in La Liga.Team News

Fans will be hoping for a great game despite the fact that both teams have to deal with a growing list of unfit players. Bruno, Barragan and Jordi Alba are all doubtful for Valencia. Sergio Canales, Miguel, Paco Alcacer, Maduro and Ever Banega are definitely out.

Meanwhile, Sevilla will be without Diego Perotti but the coach will be hoping to have Frederic Kanoute, Luna and Reyes fit in time for the encounter. Should Kanoute and Reyes miss the trip, new manager Michel may opt for a defensive approach against Valencia.

 

Form

Sevilla will try to make life very difficult for Valencia as if losing 5-1 to Barcelona isn’t miserable enough. This weekend’s visitors at the Mestalla are going into the game with hope and confidence following their 2-0 win over Osasuna.

However, Los Che will try to build on their latest home game result (a 4-0 triumph over Sporting Gijon) and defeat Sevilla. The latter’s away record is extremely poor. There has been no victory for Sevilla in 10 of their last 11 matches away from home.
