Sevilla seem determined to secure a podium finish at any cost this season. They came really close in the past few years, but this time around, they appear to be serious contenders.

They are one of the very few teams yet to lose a fixture this season in the Spanish top flight, and they are impressively placed sixth in the table, despite having a game in hand.

They also have conceded the least number of goals so far – just one – and contrary to usual, defensive superstars Atleti have let in four till now.

Sevilla are on a long unbeaten run at the moment, and have been scoring in plenty in the process. And particularly at home, the team has been a force to be reckoned with for the past several years.

Meanwhile, Valencia are no average opponent. They have made a strong start to their campaign, and have an unbeaten record so far barring their loss against Real Madrid.

However, their record on the road is a cause for worry, and on top of that, their h2h record against this foe is quite embarrassing in the past few seasons.

By the looks of things, expect a close win for Sevilla this Wednesday at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

塞维利亚似乎下定决心要在本赛季不惜一切代价登上领奖台。他们在过去的几年里非常接近，但这一次，他们似乎是认真的竞争者。

他们是本赛季西班牙顶级联赛中为数不多的还没有输掉一场比赛的球队之一，令人印象深刻的是，他们在积分榜上排名第六，尽管少了一场比赛。

他们也丢了最少的球——只有一个——和往常不同的是，防守巨星马竞到目前为止丢了四个球。

塞维利亚目前保持着长期的不败战绩，并且在这个过程中取得了大量的进球。特别是在国内，这支队伍在过去几年里一直是一支不容小觑的力量。

同时，瓦伦西亚也不是一个普通的对手。他们已经取得了一个强有力的开始，并有一个不败的记录到目前为止，除了输给皇家马德里。

然而，他们在路上的记录让人担心，最重要的是，他们在过去几个赛季对这个对手的h2h记录相当尴尬。

从目前的情况来看，塞维利亚有望在本周三在Ramón Sánchez球场取得一场势均力敌的胜利。
