A tight, low-scoring draw is the most probable result, with under 2.5 goals and a level first half likely.

The draw at 3.10 offers a small edge, but most markets are efficiently priced—avoid the Sevilla or Draw double chance at 1.33. Card overs could be worth a look given both teams' disciplinary records.

Context

- They lost at home to Real Madrid (0-1) and Celta Vigo (0-1) in the same period.
- The wins came against teams that finished 8th, 6th, and 3rd last season, while the losses were to 1st and 12th, showing no clear pattern.

- They also drew at Valencia (1-1) and lost only to stronger sides like Crystal Palace (0-1 in a neutral venue) and Ipswich (0-3 in a friendly).
- Their away defeats in La Liga came against top-half teams, but they consistently pick up points against bottom-half opponents.
The last five H2H results: 1-1 (March 2026), 0-1 (September 2025), 1-1 (March 2025), 1-0 (November 2024), 1-2 (February 2024).
