Sevilla host Valencia at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on Friday night in a La Liga meeting between two sides seeking to recover momentum. Sevilla begin the fifth round in seventh place with seven points from four matches, while Valencia arrive bottom of the table after three successive league defeats.

The hosts have won two league games this season but were held to a 1-1 draw by Espanyol last weekend. Valencia, meanwhile, suffered a 5-0 defeat to Barcelona in their most recent outing, following earlier losses to Deportivo La Coruña and Real Betis.

Sevilla have struggled in recent home meetings with Valencia, failing to win any of their last four league encounters at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. However, their current form and Valencia’s difficult start give Luis García Plaza’s side a chance to reverse that record. Low-scoring matches have been a feature of this fixture in Seville, with under 3.5 goals landing in 14 of the sides’ previous 15 meetings there.

In Serie A, Venezia host Fiorentina at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, with Giovanni Stroppa’s side looking for their first points of the season. Venezia have lost their opening three league fixtures, including defeats to Lecce, AC Milan and Frosinone, leaving them 18th in the table.

Fiorentina travel to Venice for Paolo Vanoli’s first match in charge. The Viola have also endured a poor run, losing heavily to Roma before further defeats to Frosinone and Torino. Venezia can take confidence from their 2-1 home win over Fiorentina in May 2025 and their strong broader record in the fixture at the Penzo, although the visitors remain slight favourites.

Elsewhere in the Bundesliga, Union Berlin face newly promoted Schalke 04 at An der Alten Försterei. Both clubs enter matchweek three with one point from their first two games and are searching for a first league victory of the campaign. The fixture is scheduled for 18:30 UTC.
