Villarreal vs Sevilla Match Preview: La Liga Clash on 13 May 2026

Match Context

Villarreal host Sevilla at Estadio de la Ceramica on 13 May 2026 in La Liga, Regular Season - 36. Villarreal arrive third in the table on 69 points with a goal difference of 25, while Sevilla sit 13th on 40 points and a goal difference of -13.

Villarreal Availability

Villarreal have one confirmed defensive absentee: J. Foyth (Achilles Tendon Injury) is sidelined. In attack, Ayoze Pérez (Injury) is doubtful. Crucially, their leading scorers remain available: G. Mikautadze has 11 goals and 5 assists, while Alberto Moleiro has contributed 10 goals and 4 assists. Creative hub N. Pépé, the league’s joint-top assister for Villarreal with 6 assists and 8 goals, is also available to start, preserving much of the hosts’ attacking structure.

Sevilla Availability

Sevilla’s back line is weakened with Marcao (Wrist Injury) sidelined. In midfield, Manu Bueno (Knee Injury) is doubtful, and in attack Isaac Romero (Injury) is also doubtful, potentially limiting rotation and late-game options.

Impact Summary

Villarreal’s main attacking output remains intact, with Mikautadze, Moleiro and Pépé combining for 29 league goals and 15 assists. Sevilla’s listed absences are more structural than statistical, but losing Marcao at the back and possibly Manu Bueno in midfield could further expose a defense that has already conceded 56 goals.
