Sevilla, a top Spanish club, has been struggling in recent years, with only one win in their last 12 matches. They are currently in 15th place in LaLiga and are close to elimination from the Champions League. Sevilla’s chances of reaching the knockout stage of their favorite competition, the Europa League, are slim, with only 4 points more than Celta, who is in the danger zone. This poor performance highlights the challenges faced by Sevilla in their competitive landscape.

Villarreal is currently in 12th place in LaLiga with 15 points, but they beat Osasuna 3-1 in the previous round and secured a place in the knockout phase before the end of the Europa League group stage. They have a chance to catch up with Rennes, who have played one less match, bringing them to 1st place and a direct placement in the 1/8 finals. Villarreal has won four of their last five matches, suggesting a glimpse of a way out of their crisis.

Bade and Suso will miss the match due to muscle injuries, while Ramos and Navas will take a break due to red cards and suspension. Lamela and Vacas are also sidelined, and Marcao, Nyland, and Soumare are uncertain.

Algerian Mandi is set to miss the match due to an ankle injury, while Pino and Sorloth are out due to knee injuries, and Akhomach, Coquelin, and Suarez are on the questionable list.
