The 2022-23 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Sevilla lock horns with an impressive Villarreal side in an important clash at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday.
Sevilla vs Villarreal Preview
Villarreal are currently in sixth place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Yellow Submarines slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Real Valladolid in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Sevilla, on the other hand, are in 13th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Andalusian outfit thrashed Manchester United by a 3-0 scoreline this week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.

Sevilla vs Villarreal Prediction
Sevilla have managed to overcome their slump and were in excellent form against Manchester United. The Andalusians will need to finish in the top half of the table to salvage their league campaign and have a point to prove this weekend.
