Only Barcelona and Real Madrid have managed to claim victory at the yellow fortress this season in La Liga.
Villarreal-Sevilla | Matchday 36 of LaLiga EA Sports at Estadio de La Cerámica
Villarreal aim to cap off their season by securing a podium finish in La Liga, meaning the Yellow Submarine will approach their clash with Sevilla with full seriousness. Luis García Plaza’s side are not yet assured of survival, especially after Levante’s surprise win over Celta in Vigo, leaving relegation just one point away. The challenge is immense, so any points would be a major achievement – and desperately needed. The match kicks off this evening at 19:00 local time at Estadio de La Cerámica.
**How Villarreal Arrive**
The hosts have been formidable at La Cerámica, where only Real Madrid and Barcelona have won in the league this season. They have turned 14 of their 17 home games into victories – an untouchable record. Following heavy rotation in last weekend’s trip to Mallorca, Marcelino is expected to field a strong starting XI to maintain their imperious home form.
**How Sevilla Arrive**
Despite García Plaza’s poor away record, Sevilla hold a golden chance to take a decisive step toward survival. After two physically demanding games at Nervión against Real Sociedad and Espanyol, Isaac Romero is unavailable, and several starters are only fit for limited minutes, according to the coach. Four or five changes are expected for a match overshadowed by the news of a preliminary agreement for Sergio Ramos and investment group Five Eleven Capital to buy the club.
**Key Battle: Moleiro vs. Vargas**
Canary Islander Moleiro has been one of Villarreal’s standout performers this season, earning a spot on Luis de la Fuente’s preliminary World Cup squad. Swiss winger Vargas, who was pursued by his opponents this evening, must step up in the final stretch as one of the most electrifying players in the squad.
