Sevilla vs Valencia prediction 11.09.2026 | La Liga

Last season was tough for Sevilla. They eventually finished with only one point more than the relegation zone. Sevilla are at the moment far from their best years, but they surely hope for a less stressful 2026/27 campaign. Luis Garcia's team played well in the opening four La Liga rounds, collecting seven points. In the most recent outing, Sevilla played 1-1 on the road against Espanyol. Although the visitors played with only ten players for most of the second half, they were close to all three points, but the hosts saved themself late in stoppage time.

Sevilla's head coach, Luis Garcia, was disappointed after a painful last-minute draw at RCDE Stadium. He commented, "It was eventful. We struggled in the first half, but then we made adjustments and grew in confidence on the ball. We went from strength to strength and played very well in the second half. With ten men, you have to suffer; that's normal, but we competed and deserved the three points. But we didn't defend well in that one moment; we need to be more composed when defending in the box."

Arouna Sangante received a red card in the previous match and will not play on Friday against Valencia. Also, Ruben Vargas and Marcao are unavailable due to injuries.

Valencia were solid last year. They finished mid-table last year and hope for another similar season. However, Valencia have been terrible in the 2026/27 campaign so far, with only one point from their first four league matches. Currently, Carlos Corberan's team is at the bottom of the standings. Valencia are on a three-game losing streak. In the previous game, they lost 5-0 at home against Barcelona. The visitors controlled the match from start to finish, and the outcome was never really in doubt.

Valencia's head coach, Carlos Corberan, was realistic about the defeat against Barcelona. He said, "Whether you play with a mid-block, a deep defensive line, or pressing high up the pitch, Barca always finds solutions. Against such a superior team, everything has to go your way to get anything out of it."

Valencia have big problems with missing players. In the last match, defender Mouctar Diakhaby suffered an injury and will miss several weeks. Besides him, Valencia will be without Sergi Canos, Jose Copete, Justin De Haas, Dimitri Foulquier, Diego Lopez, Luis Rioja, Guido Rodriguez, and Umar Sadiq, while Jesus Vazquez is questionable.
