Sevilla were held to a 1-1 draw by Espanyol on the road last weekend. Despite playing with 10 men, the Andalusian side managed to take the lead late in the second half but succumbed to a 98th-minute equaliser.
Luis Garcia's troops have earned seven points from a possible 12 and are seventh in La Liga. After kicking off their campaign with consecutive wins, they have failed to win their last two outings.
The hosts have no new injury absences ahead of this clash, although Ruben Vargas remains questionable due to physical discomfort. Arouna Sangante is also unavailable for selection following his sending-off against Espanyol last weekend.
Valencia, on the other hand, are coming off a humiliating 5-0 home defeat against Barcelona. The visitors currently find themselves at the bottom of the La Liga table, having earned one point from a possible 12.
Not only are Los Che still in the hunt for their first win of the campaign, but they have also been one of the league's least efficient teams in terms of scoring, having found the net only once in four league matches this term.
In fact, Valencia are the only La Liga side to have scored more own goals (2) than regular goals (1) this season.
Head coach Carlos Corberan will not be able to call upon the services of the injured Guido Rodriguez (muscle), Justin De Haas (ankle), and Umar Sadiq (hamstring), while Mouctar Diakhaby (muscle), Jesus Vazquez (ankle), David Otorbi (muscle), Luis Rioja (muscle), Aliou Dieng (hamstring), and Dimitri Foulquier (thigh) are doubtful for this skirmish.
On the positive side, Valencia have a solid track record against Sevilla, as they are unbeaten in the last six H2Hs and have won two of their last three trips to this stadium.

Whispers Predicts: Sevilla 3-1 Valencia
At 5/4 (2.25), Sevilla are considered favourites by the bookmakers ahead of this encounter.

Both teams were on the scoresheet in each of the hosts' last five fixtures, and this can be backed at 21/20 (2.05).
We also fancy Sevilla & BTTS – Yes at 41/10 (5.10), as was the case in two of Sevilla's four league matches this season.
