Sevilla tends to perform well at home and have the crowd pushing them on as they mount a serious challenge at the title.
Lopetegui’s men will want to remove the blemish of Real Madrid and get right back.
We expect a home win for Sevilla, as Villarreal lack form and consistency to trouble them. Emery is under pressure at Villarreal as his side lack a league win in 7 outings.
