Sevilla could find it difficult in 2017-2018 to match last season’s fourth place finish in La Liga, as gone are sporting director Monchi and manager Jorge Sampaoli. It will be up to new manager Eduardo Berizzo to lead Sevilla this season. Los Rojiblancos will miss Vitolo who left for Atletico Madrid but they did bring in Ever Banega from Inter and Jesus Navas from Manchester City. Whether the newcomers are enough for Sevilla to once again finish in the Top 4 is the question.
Sevilla La Liga Futures Odds
Odds To Win La Liga: +5000 (Field)
Odds to Finish in Top 4: +180
Sevilla is not thought of as a title contender even though they finished fourth last season. Sevilla is lumped in with 17 other teams as part of the field, as oddsmakers think only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have a chance to win La Liga in 2017-2018. Sevilla is considered in the mix to finish in the Top 4 at odds of +180.

What's New?
Sevilla added Ever Banega from Inter, Luis Muriel from Sampdoria, Guido Pizarro from UANL, Nolito from Manchester City, Sebastien Corchia from Lille, Jesus Navas and Simon Kjaer from Fenerbahce.
Banega and Navas have played with Sevilla in the past and could be key players again this season. Banega was with Sevilla when they won two Europa League titles and Navas has the second-most appearances in club history. Sevilla is hoping to hang onto Steven N’Zoni, who is a target of Juventus. N’Zoni has played really well at Sevilla and Berizzo wants him to stay. "I think he knows the situation with us and there is no need for me as the coach to state it," Berizzo told beIN Sports. "He is a fantastic player with great physical attributes... for any coach, he would be a key player and I hope we can count on him after the end of August."
What's Gone?
Sevilla lost Vicente Iborra to Leicester City, Vitolo to Atletico Madrid, Adil Rami to Marseille, Mariano to Galatasaray, Sebastian Cristoforo to Fiorentina, Yehven Konoplyanka to Schalke, Matias Kranevitter to Samir Nasri, and loans ended on Luciano Vietto, Matias Kranevitter and Benoit Tremoulinas.
Sevilla 2017-18 Predictions
Sevilla is a tough team to predict, as it is hard to know how they will do without Sampaoli at the helm. Oscar Arias is now in charge of transfers and his early results are mixed. Berizzo used to manage at Celta Vigo and he did a decent job there.
Sevilla finished fourth and made the Champions League last season because of how well they played at home, as they were 14-1 at home with four draws. They outscored opponents by a combined 35-18. The road record for Sevilla was nothing special, as they went 7-7 with five draws. They were outscored by a combined 33-30 on the road.
Sevilla finished five points in front of Villarreal last season to finish in fourth place and get a spot in the Champions League. Sevilla is getting a lot of respect again for the 2017-2018 season, as they are +180 to finish in the Top 4 this season. The next teams in the betting are Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal at 5-1, Real Sociedad at 6-1 and Valencia at 7-1. It could be that Sevilla at +180 is a sucker bet, as the team doesn’t appear to be as good as they were a year ago, yet they are the clear choice to finish fourth this season.
A 5th or 6th place finish for Sevilla seems the most likely scenario for the team in 2017-2018.
