Valencia are building a new stadium and a new team, but so far progress has been slow. The start of the new season went off confidently and in 12 rounds the “orange” managed to get four wins and draws, which brought 16 points and 10th place in the standings. After success at the start, the bats lost their concentration and lost twice in the last four rounds and failed to maintain the victory in the game with Mallorca (2:2). In the last round Jose Bordalas’ wards hosted Villarreal at home. In this fight the Valencians were in no way inferior to the current winner of the Europa League, while the goal of Guillamon Sanmartin and Soler from the 11-meter mark brought an emotionally important victory. It should be noted the performance of the team in the attack line, which hit the opponents’ goal 18 times. Today Gabriel Paulista, Racic and Cheryshev, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to enter the field.
After 11 rounds of the current La Liga season, Sevilla has seven victories and three peaceful outcomes, bringing 24 points and third place, being one point away from the first Real Sociedad. It is impossible not to note the best indicator of the “Nervets” in the defense line, which conceded only seven times. In the last four matches the “red-whites” drew once and celebrated success three times with “Celta” (1:0), “Levante” (5:3) and “Osasuna” (2:0). The first rounds of Yulena Lopetega’s charges in the Champions League were not quite successful, where they occupied the last place. Navas, who has a muscle injury, will not play today.
