VILLARREAL, Spain – Villarreal go face Sevilla on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at 3:15 p.m. UTC, for La Liga final match of the season. After securing fifth place, the Yellow Submarine look to continue their strong form against a Sevilla side battling relegation.
This season, Villarreal has been impressive, netting 67 goals from 37 matches, ranking third in La Liga behind Barcelona and Real Madrid. Their record stands at 19 wins, 10 draws, and eight losses, earning them 67 points and a Champions League spot for 2025-26.
Villarreal has won their last five league matches, and after defeating Las Palmas 2-0, they aim to stretch that streak to six. Coach Marcelino‘s side can take their points tally to 70 but will remain fifth due to Athletic Bilbao’s superior head-to-head results.
Sevilla, on the other hand, has had a tumultuous season, sitting 16th on the table, just two points above Espanyol in 17th. They strive to avoid ending in the relegation zone, hoping for a favorable outcome against Villarreal.
After a recent 1-0 victory against Las Palmas, Sevilla seeks another win but comes off two consecutive defeats to Villarreal, including a loss in their earlier encounter this season.
The Yellow Submarine will miss some key players due to injuries, including a long-term absence, while striker Pino and midfielder Parejo may also be sidelined. In contrast, Sevilla has its own list of doubts, with players suspended due to previous yellow cards, impacting their lineup.
Despite the injury concerns, Sevilla’s top scorer has been quite impressive this season, scoring 11 goals. However, a solid Villarreal side poses a tough challenge.
Head-to-head, Villarreal has dominated their past meetings, and statistics show they have a higher winning rate over Sevilla. Predictions point to a solid home win for Villarreal as they end their campaign on a high note.
As voting for Sports Mole Readers’ Awards kicks off, fans are encouraged to select their players of the season and managers, with results revealed on May 26.
