LaLiga is back with yet another nerve-wracking game in VIL vs SEV as both the teams have a point to prove.
Villarreal this season are once again hoping to finish the Champions League places, after failing to do so by finishing 7th last season. Despite that, Villarreal had a dream run in the Champions League last season as they fell just short of making the final but managed to overcome teams like Juventus and Bayern in the process. Under Unai Emery, this team is well capable of upsetting some big teams.
In contrast, Sevilla have had one of their worst starts to the campaign. Sevilla who were once known for dominating the European scene as they have won the Europa League on four occasions in the last decade are now struggling. They have managed to accumulate just four points in five matches so far. Now, only a miracle can bring back Sevilla to where they belonged.
