Sevilla vs Valencia: Over 1.5 Total Goals (-227)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When Sevilla hosts Valencia, expect a lively encounter that should easily surpass 1.5 goals. Sevilla’s recent home form hints at both offensive struggles and defensive vulnerabilities, averaging just 1.2 goals at home, while conceding 1.2 as well. However, they've been peppering the opposition’s goal with about 17.4 shots per game at home, suggesting they have the firepower to break through. Valencia, on the other hand, showcases a more potent attack with 1.4 goals per away match lately. Their ability to exploit Sevilla’s shaky backline makes them dangerous. With both teams averaging around 15 shots per game recently, the likelihood of at least two goals feels high. Historically, their last five meetings have leaned towards higher-scoring affairs, with Valencia winning three of those. It all adds up for an entertaining clash, where betting on over 1.5 goals seems like a smart call.

Sevilla vs Valencia: Sevilla +0 Goal Handicap (-179)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Sevilla prepares to host Valencia, recent form and head-to-head records suggest a favorable outcome for the home side. While Sevilla's last five matches at home show a modest 2-0-3 record, they've been solid defensively, conceding just 1.2 goals per game. With an xG average indicating they create chances but struggle to finish, their home ground could provide the edge they need against a Valencia side that has had its own inconsistencies. Valencia, on the other hand, has shown promise with a respectable 2-1-2 away record. However, their tendency to concede 1.6 goals per game could be their undoing. Sevilla’s pressure and creativity, reflected in their average of 17.4 shots at home, could exploit Valencia’s vulnerabilities. Given the stakes and Sevilla's need to break their winless streak against Valencia, backing them at ‘0’ on the handicap feels like the right call.
