Sevilla are coming in after their lacklustre season, where they almost got relegated from LaLiga. They also lost their previous friendly game against Birmingham City, which will keep them under pressure against Sunderland as well. The Spanish side will have to work hard here to get back to winning ways.

Kick-off:

• Location: Loulé, Portugal
• Stadium: Stadium Algarve
• Date: Sunday, July 20
• Kick-off Time: 00:30 IST (Saturday, July 19; 19:00 GMT/ 15:00 ET/ 12:00 PT)
• Referee: TBD
• VAR: Not in use

Form:

Sunderland: L-W-D-W-W

Sevilla: W-L-L-W-L

Players to Watch

Wilson Isidor (Sunderland)

Wilson Isidor is going to play an important role in the attacking front for the Premier League side Sunderland. During their EFL Championship 2024-25 run, the 24-year-old French forward scored 12 goals and also bagged a couple of assists in 43 appearances for the Black Cats. He is also coming in after scoring a goal for his team in the previous fixture.

Nico Guillen (Sevilla)

The 17-year-old Spaniard scored the only goal for his team in their 1-3 loss against Birmingham City in their previous game. He will have a big role to play yet again. The LaLiga side will be looking for a win here, and the team with a better midfield will most likely do just that.

Nico Guillen can help them control the midfield well.
