Villarreal welcome Sevilla to Estadio de La Ceramica on Sunday, 25 May 2025, at 15:15, in a dead rubber on the final weekend of the LaLiga season. Villarreal, sitting fifth, are in scintillating form with five consecutive wins, and have guaranteed themselves a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. In stark contrast, Sevilla only recently confirmed their safety after another torrid campaign for the Andalusians.
The hosts have been formidable at home, winning their last five matches and averaging an impressive 2.05 goals per game. Ayoze Perez has been instrumental, netting 19 goals this season and spearheading Villarreal’s attack. Sevilla, however, have struggled on their travels, losing four of their last five away fixtures and conceding an average of 1.42 goals per match. This stark contrast in form could heavily favour Villarreal.
Key players are set to take centre stage. Perez’s clinical finishing will test Sevilla’s fragile defence, while Dodi Lukebakio, Sevilla’s top scorer with 11 goals, must deliver a standout performance to keep his side’s hopes alive. The midfield battle could also prove decisive, with Villarreal’s Alex Baena and Sevilla’s Saul Niguez likely to play pivotal roles in dictating the tempo.
History further tilts the scales towards Villarreal, who are unbeaten in their last five home meetings with Sevilla. The visitors’ last victory at Estadio de La Ceramica came in 2017, a statistic that highlights Villarreal’s psychological edge.

Villarreal vs Sevilla Betting Predictions
Primary Bet:Home Win @ 12/25
Villarreal’s impressive form and home advantage position them as strong favourites to claim a "home win" over Sevilla. The hosts are riding a five-match winning streak in LaLiga, including three consecutive home wins. Furthermore, they remain unbeaten in their last five fixtures at Estadio de la Cerámica, underlining their dominance on home turf. In stark contrast, Sevilla have struggled away from home, suffering defeats in their last four away matches. Adding to Villarreal’s edge, they have lost just one of their previous five meetings with Sevilla, giving them both a psychological and historical advantage.
Secondary Bet:Over 2.5 Goals @ 8/15
The secondary bet of "over 2.5 goals" is well-supported by both teams’ attacking tendencies and defensive frailties. Villarreal average 2.05 goals per match at home, while Sevilla manage 1.42 goals on their travels. Historically, clashes between these sides yield an average of three goals per match, with Villarreal scoring 1.6 goals per game against Sevilla, who themselves average 1.4 goals in return. Sevilla’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly in recent away fixtures, further bolster the likelihood of a high-scoring encounter. At 8/15, the odds for over 2.5 goals present a compelling opportunity for punters.
