Villarreal vs Sevilla prediction: Baena to star in home win
Key stats
- Our Villarreal vs Sevilla betting tips take into account that the Yellow Submarine head into this following five straight victories.
- Sevilla have let in four or more goals in three of their four away games against top-five opponents.
- Only Real Valladolid (zero) have picked up fewer points than Sevilla (five) over the last eight matches in La Liga.
Correct score prediction: Villarreal 3-1 Sevilla
Sevilla have limped over the finish line to secure safety, but they’re a shadow of the side they once were, and aren’t helped here by the absence of their best defender Loic Bade.
While Villarreal are missing their top scorer Ayoze Perez, they still have plenty of other strong attacking options, and look well capable of securing another comfortable win here.
