Villarreal aims to extend their winning streak as they clash with Sevilla in La Liga on Sunday night.
Match Preview
Sevilla’s recent form hasn’t been favorable as they suffered a 3-2 defeat against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, marking their fifth consecutive winless outing.
While they can’t advance further in the Champions League, a win against Lens could secure a Europa League spot.
Despite their league struggles, Sevilla remains a formidable force in European competitions.
Villarreal, under Marcelino’s return as head coach, has won their last three games, including a 3-2 win against Panathinaikos in the Europa League.
Marcelino’s arrival has instigated a positive shift in Villarreal’s performance, yet their league campaign has been underwhelming, currently sitting 12th in La Liga.
Team News
Sevilla faces absences due to suspensions; Jesus Navas and Sergio Ramos are suspended from the previous Real Sociedad match.
Additionally, Loic Bade, Suso, Erik Lamela, Marcao, and Alfonso Pastor remain sidelined due to injuries.
Villarreal’s Yeremi Pino faces a season-ending knee injury, while Alexander Sorloth, Denis Suarez, and Francis Coquelin are also unavailable.
