Valencia finished in 16th place in the La Liga standings last season and have not been at their best in recent years. Los Che suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa in their previous game and will need to work hard to bounce back this week.

Sevilla, on the other hand, secured a 12th-place finish in the league table last season and managed to improve after a poor start to their campaign. The Andalusian outfit played out a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid and will need to take it up a notch to win this match.
