The Matchday 24 clash in La Liga between Valladolid and Sevilla will take place on February 16 at the Nuevo José Zorrilla Stadium. Valladolid vs. Sevilla: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Valladolid
Diego Cocca's side continues to anchor the bottom of the La Liga table. They are already eight points adrift of the safe 17th place. Additionally, Valladolid remains the worst in defense, having conceded 48 goals. The club's performance has significantly deteriorated following a streak of four defeats in the league, including a 0-3 home thrashing by Real Madrid and three away losses.
Forward Marcos Andre will miss the game due to yellow card accumulation, and defender Cenk Özkacar is out with an injury.
- The club has suffered 10 defeats in their last 13 La Liga matches (2 wins and 1 draw).
- The number "1" appeared in the final score of 6 of Valladolid's last 8 La Liga matches.

Karl Hein – Javi Sánchez, Antonio Candela, Joseph Aidoo, David Torres – Tamás Nikitscher – Chuki, Luis Pérez, Mario Martín, Anuar Tuhami – Marcos Andre.
Sevilla
Sevilla avoided defeat in four consecutive La Liga matches, drawing three times and defeating Girona 2-1. Their best unbeaten run in this La Liga season was ended in the last round when they were thrashed 1-4 at home by Barcelona. The team is currently 13th in the standings, six points clear of the relegation zone.
Midfielder Saúl Ñíguez and defender Loïc Badé are suspended, while midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga is out injured.
- Both teams scored in 7 of Sevilla's last 9 league matches.

Valladolid vs. Sevilla: Match Prediction
The first-round encounter between these opponents ended in a 2-1 victory for Sevilla. Likely, this game will also see three or more goals. Valladolid is the worst defensive team in the current La Liga, conceding at least two goals on average per match. Meanwhile, Sevilla's defensive efforts have not been impressive either, averaging 1.5 goals conceded.
With caution, I suggest that there will be at least two goals in the match. Such a scoring outcome occurred in 6 of Valladolid's last 8 home La Liga matches, and in 12 of Sevilla's last 15 away league games. Additionally, two or more goals were scored in 11 of their last 13 head-to-head encounters in La Liga.
My prediction: Total over 2 goals
