The friendly between Sevilla and Juventud Torremolinos is set for July 11, 2026, at the Andalusian club's home ground. For Luis Garcia’s squad, this will be one of the first tests of their summer preparations, during which most opponents will come from Spain’s lower divisions.

Sevilla: the new season must start with a confident win
Last season, Sevilla finished mid-table, though at times their fans were once again left nervously watching the standings. Luis Garcia, who arrived in the spring, managed to stabilize the team’s play, and now he’ll be tasked with cementing that progress and restoring the squad’s former confidence.
This summer, the club parted ways with several veterans at the end of their contracts while also bolstering key positions. Facing a lower-league opponent, the hosts are expected to dominate possession, create plenty of chances, and secure a convincing victory.
Juventud Torremolinos: a gulf in class that’s hard to bridge
Last season, Juventud barely avoided relegation to Spain’s fourth tier and haven’t significantly strengthened over the summer. The team will find it extremely difficult to cope with the pressure from an opponent superior both in squad quality and individual skill.
Four years ago, Juventud Torremolinos already faced Sevilla and lost by a three-goal margin. There’s little to suggest the underdogs will have an easier time now—especially on the favorite’s turf.

The hosts are expected to deliver: prediction for Sevilla vs Juventud Torremolinos
For Sevilla, the result of this friendly isn’t the main objective, but the gulf in class obliges them to dictate the tempo. Luis Garcia will have the chance to test his revamped squad without sacrificing aggressive football and constant pressure.
Juventud might hold out for a while with tight defending, but maintaining focus for the full ninety minutes will be a tall order. Superior individual quality and home advantage should see Sevilla record a comfortable win.
