Sevilla is set to take on Valencia in the fifth round of the 2026-2027 La Liga season. After starting the season with two consecutive victories against Rayo Vallecano and Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla faced a setback with a 1-3 loss to Atletico Madrid at home. They managed to secure a draw against Espanyol in their last outing, accumulating 7 points from 4 matches, placing them 7th in the league.

This season has seen a total of 13 goals scored in Sevilla's matches, indicating a high-scoring trend. However, they have also received two red cards in their last four games, reflecting a somewhat chaotic start. Historically, Sevilla has faced challenges against Valencia, having not won in their last six encounters, with Valencia winning the most recent match 2-0 in March.

On the other hand, Valencia is under pressure following a dismal 0-5 defeat to Barcelona, marking their third consecutive loss. They opened their season with a goalless draw against Celta Vigo but have since lost to Real Betis and Deportivo La Coruna, leaving them at the bottom of the table with just 1 point. Valencia has struggled offensively, scoring only once in four matches, which is concerning for a club that has won La Liga six times.

For this match, Sevilla will be without Arouna Sangante due to suspension and will also miss Marcao and Ruben Vargas due to injuries. Despite these absences, Sevilla's squad remains relatively strong, with Lucas Stassin likely to start after scoring in the previous match.

Valencia, meanwhile, will be missing several key players, including Justin De Haas and Diego Lopez, due to injuries. Coach Corberan is expected to make changes to the lineup following the heavy defeat to Barcelona, with players like Cesar Tarrega and Jose Gaya likely returning to the starting eleven.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 2:00 AM on September 12, 2026, Vietnam time.
