Sevilla vs Valencia prediction, preview, team news and more | La Liga 2019-20

Sevilla are set to host Valencia at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan for the next La Liga match on Monday.

Sevilla come into the match on the back of a disappointing result. Julen Lopetegui's men drew 0-0 with Real Sociedad. They are now fourth in the La Liga table, two points behind third-placed Atletico Madrid with a game to go.

Valencia, on the other hand, won 1-0 against Espanyol in their last La Liga game. A goal from veteran striker Kevin Gameiro sealed the deal for interim manager Voro's side. However, the result was dampened a bit due to the sending off of defender Jaume Costa late in the game.

Valencia occupy eighth place in the league table, amid rumours that owner Peter Lim has placed eight first-team stars, including captain Dani Parejo, on the transfer list.

Valencia have recently made the news for their off-the-field controversies. They are yet to appoint a permanent head coach, with Voro currently the interim manager. The focus will be on Ferran Torres, the young winger who has been persistently linked with a move to Manchester City in recent days.

Prediction: Sevilla 2:0 Valencia
