La Liga Preview: Sevilla Struggles to Score, Valladolid Aims for First Away Point

On September 25 at 1:00 AM, the Spanish La Liga will see its 7th round match, with Sevilla hosting visiting team Valladolid.

In the previous six rounds, Sevilla has a record of one win, two draws, and three losses, accumulating five points to rank 15th in the league table. The team’s performance hasn’t been outstanding. Although it is too early to talk about relegation worries at the start of the season, such form has certainly caused concern among fans. The team only secured their first win of the season in the fifth round, and playing at home again, they hope to continue their winning streak at home.

This season, the team has played three home games. Apart from the victory in the fifth round, they lost both other matches, scoring just two goals in the three games, showing a very weak offensive performance. Defensively, they conceded four goals, mirroring last season’s poor defensive record. Last season, the team barely avoided relegation due to a weak defense, and they certainly do not want to be in a relegation battle this season.

Sevilla’s poor start is also closely related to injuries within the squad. Players like Souhou, Romero, Teixeira, and Lokonga are all sidelined due to injuries, and they might not return until mid-October. The injury-riddled Sevilla faces significant challenges in squad selection.

Valladolid shares similar woes with Sevilla, having also recorded one win, two draws, and three losses in the first six games, accumulating five points to place 17th in the league table. Their defensive performance has been disastrous, conceding 13 goals in six games, which is the main reason for their poor results. Additionally, the team has only scored two goals, making their single victory quite remarkable.

In this season’s three away games, the team suffered defeats in all, contrasting sharply with their home record of one win and two draws. Notably, all 13 goals conceded were away from home, with only one goal scored on the road. It is clear how difficult it will be for them to secure their first away win in this state, and their goal for this match is simply to concede fewer goals and strive for points.

In terms of injuries, the team’s injury list is empty, which is the only positive aspect for them, and they will face Sevilla with full strength.

In the past ten encounters between the two teams, Sevilla has maintained an unbeaten record with five wins and five draws. However, in the most recent five meetings, Sevilla’s record is one win and four draws, with many draws. Both teams’ offensive capabilities are not strong this season, and Valladolid will likely play defensively to secure points, making it difficult for Sevilla to break through their defense.
