Sevilla 1-2 Villarreal CF

Current streaks

Recent form

Sevilla

Sevilla's recent form presents a mixed picture, with a notable contrast between their league performance and friendly matches. Despite starting their La Liga campaign with a respectable 2-2 draw against Las Palmas, placing them 8th in the table, their pre-season friendlies were less encouraging. The team experienced a run of three consecutive losses in their friendlies, including a heavy 4-1 defeat against Liverpool, which was their highest-scoring game in this period. However, Sevilla did manage to secure back-to-back wins in friendlies against Fulham and Al-Ittihad FC, showing some resilience. Their defensive record is concerning, having conceded 11 goals in their last 6 games (1.83 per game), while only managing one clean sheet. The high percentage of games (67%) where both teams scored and where over 2.5 goals were scored suggests that Sevilla's matches tend to be open affairs with plenty of scoring opportunities for both sides.

Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF's recent form shows a mixed performance with 1 win, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their last 6 games. Despite starting their La Liga campaign with a draw against Atlético de Madrid, their pre-season friendlies were inconsistent. The team's defensive record is concerning, having conceded 12 goals in 6 games, with a high average of 2 goals conceded per game. Notably, there was a particularly high-scoring game against Brighton, where Villarreal suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat. On a positive note, 83% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating exciting, high-scoring affairs. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in the last six games, but they've shown resilience by scoring in most matches, with both teams scoring in 67% of the games.
