The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Sevilla lock horns with an impressive Villarreal side at the Estadio el Madrigal on Saturday. Both teams have good players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Sevilla are currently in 12th place in the La Liga standings and have improved after a slow start to their campaign. The Andalusian outfit eased past Granada by a 3-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Villarreal, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table and have been inconsistent this season. The Yellow Submarines slumped to a damaging 3-2 defeat against Celta Vigo in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
