Jornada 5 opens on Friday 11 September 2026 (21:00 CEST) as Sevilla host Valencia at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. Both sides arrive off draws — Sevilla held 1–1 at Espanyol, Valencia thumped 0–5 at home by Barcelona — and need a response in front of their own fans.
Sevilla: the story so far
Matías Almeyda's Sevilla pressed well at Espanyol before Lucas Stassin's late leveller cancelled out Marcos Fernández's opener. Isaac Romero leads the line, with Odisseas Vlachodimos marshalling a defence that has conceded in every game so far.

Valencia: the story so far
Valencia were overrun 0–5 by Barcelona at Mestalla — their heaviest defeat of the campaign — and Carlos Corberán needs a reaction. Hugo Duro and Arnaut Danjuma carry the attacking threat after a chastening Jornada 4.
The deciding factor
