Villarreal CF faces Sevilla FC this Wednesday at La Cerámica, in a match corresponding to LaLiga matchday 36, with the opportunity to secure third place.

Marcelino García's team could mathematically secure third place in the standings if they achieve victory against the Nervión side and Atlético de Madrid fails to win their match against Osasuna. This match is crucial for both teams, albeit for very different reasons.
For its part, Sevilla FC arrives in Vila-real in a situation of maximum need, as they are only three points from the relegation zone with three games remaining in the season. Direct confrontation statistics are not favorable for the Andalusian team, especially in their visits to La Cerámica.
The 'groguets' have not lost at home against Sevilla in the last seven years. The balance of the last seven duels at La Cerámica is four victories for the home team and three draws, with 18 goals scored by Villarreal and 8 conceded. In the last five matches between both teams, the yellow team has achieved four victories and one draw.
The last league match between Sevilla and Villarreal was on matchday 6 of this season and ended with a 1-2 result in favor of Marcelino García's team. The goal scorers on that occasion were Sow for Sevilla, and Oluwaseyi and Solomon for Villarreal.
“

"The team will continue to be professional and competitive, despite having secured qualification for the Champions League."

the Villarreal coach
The match, corresponding to LaLiga EA Sports matchday 36, will be played on Wednesday, May 13 at 7:00 PM at the Estadio de La Cerámica and can be watched on Teledeporte. After a demanding match in Mallorca, it is likely that the coach will make rotations in the starting eleven, with the exception of long-term injured Foyth and Cabanes, and Ayoze with muscle discomfort.
Sevilla arrives at La Cerámica after two consecutive victories, a streak they had not achieved since last October. Last Saturday, Luis García's team secured a victory in added time against RCD Espanyol in a direct relegation battle. Goals from Castrin in the 82nd minute and Akon in the 90+1 minute completed the comeback at the Sánchez Pizjuán.
To face this match, the Sevilla coach has announced that he will be forced to make “four or five changes” due to medical recommendations regarding the starting eleven from the match against Espanyol. The confirmed absence for matchday 36 is Isaac Romero.
