If we had this match last season I would jump on Sevilla even with a lot shorter odds, but as this season Sevilla are not a top club my choice is the opposite. Do not let the odds fool you, in reality Sevilla is hardly a favourite in this! They are not a top-10 team currently.

Sevilla have already fired coach Lopetegui and replaced him with Sampaoli, who took his first win last round away at Mallorca. However the problems at Sevilla mostly come from a poor squad, not by poor coaching. The away win was one of most undeserved ones in la liga this season as Sevilla lost the performance statistics by 2 goals, and themselves they did not create any chances at all, the goal was a long shot which goes into the net once in a hundred!

There are some injury worries at Sevilla as Navas, Fernando, Rekik and Corona are most likely all sidelined. That leaves holes into defense and wings, and as there is super tight schedule going at the moment in all leagues because of World Cup there is no room to field injured players.

On paper the attacking part of Sevilla does not look bad at all, but the defense truly is.

Valencia drew 2-2 v Elche last round and it can be considered a poor result, but there was not much wrong in the performance as Valencia dominated through all match, shot 20 times and should had won by 2 goals.

Valencia are 8th in the table, and they have unlucky in several games and could have 3-4 more points and be several positions higher. They are free form injuries and suspensions, they have no extra load of European games, they have gotten rid of Bordalas as a coach which is only a good thing, and Gattuso has gotten Valencia into a good form and mental state, where mistakes are allowed from the players, and it leads to entertaining performances. A good example of this is the mistake by keeper Mamardashvili v Elche, he felt sorry, he apologized his team and coach, but Gattuso said that "never say sorry, you have saved us so many times."

This approach brings happier and better players for sure!

如果我们上赛季有这样的比赛，即使指数更低，我也会选择塞维利亚，但由于本赛季塞维利亚不是顶级俱乐部，我的选择正好相反。不要被这种可能性所欺骗，事实上塞维利亚在这场比赛中几乎不受欢迎!他们目前还不是前十的球队。

塞维利亚已经解雇了主教练洛佩特吉，换上了桑保利。桑保利上轮客场击败马洛卡，取得了个人首胜。然而塞维利亚的问题主要来自于糟糕的阵容，而不是糟糕的教练。客场的胜利是本赛季西甲最不应该的胜利之一，塞维利亚在数据上输了2球，他们自己也没有创造任何机会，这个进球是一个百万分之一的远射!

塞维利亚有一些球员的伤病问题，比如纳瓦斯、费尔南多、雷基克和科罗娜都有可能缺阵。这给后防线和边路留下了漏洞，而且由于世界杯的缘故，目前所有联赛的赛程都非常紧凑，没有空间让受伤的球员上场。

理论上塞维利亚的进攻部分看起来一点都不糟糕，但防守确实很糟糕。

瓦伦西亚上一轮2-2战平埃尔切，可以认为这是一个糟糕的结果，但瓦伦西亚的表现并没有太大的问题，因为瓦伦西亚在整场比赛中占据了主导地位，射门20次，本应以2球取胜。

瓦伦西亚在积分榜上排名第8，他们在几场比赛中运气不佳，可能会多拿3-4分，排名也会更高。他们是自由状态的伤病和停赛，他们没有额外的欧洲比赛负担，他们摆脱了博尔德拉斯的教练，这只是一件好事，加图索已经让瓦伦西亚进入了一个良好的状态和精神状态，允许球员犯错，这导致了有趣的表现。一个很好的例子是门将马马达什维利对埃尔切的失误，他感到抱歉，他向他的球队和教练道歉，但加图索说:“永远不要说抱歉，你救了我们很多次。”

这种方法肯定会让玩家更快乐、更优秀!
