Sevilla take on newly promoted Valladolid in midweek encounter.
Sevilla look to turn their season around with a home clash against newly promoted Real Valladolid, who aim to avoid back-to-back defeats in Tuesday's La Liga encounter.
Sevilla
Sevilla failed to build on a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Getafe, which secured a maiden win for the club in La Liga this season, after falling to a 2-1 loss to Alaves last weekend. After going two goals down at the hour mark, Dodi Lukebakio [83’] offered the Sevillistas a lifeline, which only ended up as a consolation goal, having failed to spark a late comeback.
'Everything went their way; they scored a goal and even had another disallowed,’ García Pimienta said in part. The defeat, their third of the season [1W, 2D, 3L], leaves Sevilla in 15th place, a spot below last season’s finish. Though early, all indications point to another torrid season for the home side.
Tuesday, however, will offer Sevilla a chance to turn the corner when they host newly promoted Valladolid on home turf. Sevilla could pick up back-to-back victories over the visitors following a 3-0 win in their last encounter against Valladolid.
Pimienta will be without key player Isaac Romero, who picked up a 'sprain to his right ankle’ in the game against Alaves. Kelechi Iheanacho is expected to replace Romero at the centre of attack alongside Peque and Dodi Lukebakio when Pimienta deploys the 4—3—3.
Meanwhile, the Andalusian side will have Juanlu Sánchez back in the squad following a red card suspension. Djibril Sow, who also suffered a ‘hamstring injury to his right thigh’ in the weekend game against Alaves, is ruled out of this midweek fixture.
Real Valladolid
Real Valladolid earned a point at the weekend in a goalless home game against Real Sociedad. Although they had only 34% of the ball, Paulo Pezzolano’s side put together 15 shots with 2 on target but failed to find the back of the net.
Recently promoted after a second-place finish in the Segunda division, Valladolid is currently seated in 17th place with five points (1 win, 2 draws, 3 losses). They are just one point above the bottom three and will be on the hunt for their second win of the season.
The White and Violets had avoided defeat in four of their previous five games against Sevilla (0 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss) until the recent 3-0 loss at home. Notably, they have scored in their last three visits to the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
A defeat on Tuesday, in what will be the 45th encounter in La Liga between these sides, would see Valladolid suffer back-to-back losses to Sevilla for the first time since doing so between November 2018 and 2019. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Juanmi Latasa in attack is expected for this midweek clash.
