Villarreal vs Sevilla Preview

Villarreal vs Sevilla

Competition – La Liga

Stadium: Estadio de la Cerámica

Date: 13th May 2026

Kick-off time – 18:00 GMT

Wednesday evening’s La Liga action at the Estadio de la Cerámica brings together two sides at opposite ends of the table but both motivated for very different reasons. Villarreal have been one of the stories of the Spanish season and are cementing their place in the top three, while Sevilla head to Castellón in search of the points needed to put the threat of relegation firmly to rest.

Villarreal come into this match in outstanding form — a record of D-W-W-D-W from their last five shows a side that has not lost a game during this run and is finishing the season at pace. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-1 away draw at Mallorca, a point that keeps their momentum ticking even if it was not the decisive result they would have wanted. Prior to that, they dismantled Levante 5-1 at home in a display of attacking excellence that showcased everything that makes this side so dangerous. Before that, they claimed a 2-1 home win over Celta Vigo — a hard-fought three points against a quality opponent. Earlier in this run, a 1-1 draw away at Real Oviedo was a relatively routine afternoon, before a 2-1 win on the road at Athletic Club proved their ability to get results in hostile environments. A Yellow Submarine with this much in the tank this late in the season is a daunting proposition for any visitor.

Sevilla’s form is more mixed, but the direction of travel is encouraging. Their most recent outing delivered a 2-1 home win over Espanyol — a precious three points that provided breathing space from the danger below. Prior to that, another home win followed as they beat Real Sociedad 1-0 in a disciplined and defensively sound performance. Before that, a 2-1 away defeat at Osasuna ended a positive run, as did a 2-0 away loss at Levante — results that underlined their continued vulnerability on the road. Earlier in this sequence, however, they produced one of their best performances of the campaign — a 2-1 home win over Atlético Madrid — which showed what this group is capable of when they are at their best. A sequence of W-W-L-L-W tells the story of a side whose home form has been their salvation.

The head-to-head record strongly favours Villarreal, who have won four of the last five meetings, with one draw and no wins for Sevilla. Most recently, Villarreal won 1-2 away at Sevilla in September 2025. In the previous encounter, they repeated that with a 4-2 home win over Sevilla in May 2025.

Villarreal are third in La Liga with 69 points from 35 matches, six clear of fourth-placed Atlético Madrid and firmly in control of their Champions League destiny. A win here would extend that advantage to nine points. Sevilla sit 13th with 40 points, three above the relegation zone where Alavés occupy 18th on 37. Three points would push them to 43 — six clear of the drop with the season nearly done — and would represent a major step towards mathematically securing their top-flight status.
