Sevilla FC will play a friendly match against Aston Villa this Wednesday, 2 October, at 18:30 UTC. The fixture serves as preparation for the return to official competition, which will be on 12 October against Levante in La Liga's eighth matchday.
Their last match was a 1-3 defeat to Barcelona on 19 September, a result that left them in fifth place in the table with 13 points. Their last five official games show a record of two wins, one draw, and two defeats.
Preparation context
This international friendly allows the squad to work on tactical aspects and give minutes to players who need match sharpness. Sevilla has shown defensive solidity in some outings, like the 0-1 win at Deportivo, but also vulnerability at home, where they have conceded three goals against both Atlético Madrid and Barcelona. Facing the 'Villans', who are coming off a win against Tottenham, will be a useful benchmark test.
The full squad, led by figures like Youssouf Fofana, scorer of the goal against Barça, and goalkeeper Odisseas Vlachodimos, has the chance to fine-tune details. The schedule of official matches can be checked on the club's fixtures page. Their next league opponent, Levante, currently sits in seventeenth place, making this friendly the final adjustment before seeking three points in Valencia.
