Valencia vs Sevilla prediction, preview, team news and more

Sevilla are back in action with another important La Liga fixture this week as they take on Valencia on Wednesday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.

Valencia are in 10th place in the La Liga standings and have failed to meet expectations this season. Los Che suffered a 4-1 defeat against Real Madrid last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Sevilla, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive so far. The Andalusians crashed out of the Copa del Rey over the weekend and have a point to prove in this fixture.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in September last year and ended in a 3-1 victory for Sevilla. Valencia struggled on the day and will need to step up in this match.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
