Current streaks

Recent form

Valencia

Valencia have shown a marked improvement in form over their last six matches, going unbeaten in their last five games with three wins and two draws. This run includes an impressive away victory against league giants Real Madrid, demonstrating their ability to compete with top-tier opposition. The team's goal-scoring record has been consistent, netting 1.5 goals per game on average, whilst their defensive performance has been mixed with only one clean sheet in this period. Notably, Valencia have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, particularly the 3-3 draw with Osasuna and the 3-0 loss to Atlético de Madrid, contributing to 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their current 14th position in La Liga, Valencia's recent form suggests they are capable of climbing the table if they can maintain their positive momentum.

Sevilla

Sevilla's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently on a three-match losing streak in La Liga. Their last six games have yielded only one victory, against Real Sociedad, accompanied by two draws and three losses. The Andalusian side have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just five goals in their last six matches, averaging a mere 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they've also faced challenges, conceding seven goals during this period and managing only one clean sheet. Interestingly, 67% of Sevilla's recent matches have seen both teams score, yet the same percentage have also resulted in under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for close, low-scoring encounters. Their current 12th position in the league table with 36 points from 30 games reflects their inconsistent performances, leaving them in a precarious mid-table position.

Recent home/away form

Valencia

Valencia have shown mixed form at home recently, with a current run of three consecutive La Liga victories at the Mestalla. Their home record in the last six matches across all competitions stands at four wins and two losses, demonstrating their ability to bounce back from defeats. Notably, Valencia have kept clean sheets in two of their last four home league games, showcasing improved defensive solidity. However, they suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, which significantly impacts their goals conceded average. Despite this setback, Valencia have managed to score in five of their last six home matches, indicating a consistent attacking threat. The team's home form has been crucial in their fight against relegation, with their recent wins helping to push them away from the bottom of the table.

Sevilla

Sevilla's recent away form has been relatively solid, with the team unbeaten in five consecutive matches before their most recent loss to Real Betis. During this six-game stretch, Sevilla have displayed a strong defensive record, conceding only 0.67 goals per game and keeping three clean sheets. Their attacking prowess has been noteworthy as well, averaging 1.5 goals per game. A particularly impressive result was their 4-0 victory over Real Valladolid, which stands out as a high-scoring affair. The team's ability to score and prevent goals has led to a positive goal difference of 5 over these six matches. Interestingly, Sevilla's away games have been evenly split between high and low-scoring encounters, with 50% of matches seeing over 2.5 goals and the other half under 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table position in La Liga, Sevilla's recent away performances suggest they are a formidable opponent on the road.
