Team News

Espanyol
Sevilla
  • Espanyol come into the match with the good news of the recovery of Javi Prado, who will be available for this matchday.
  • On the other hand, Edu Expósito might not be fit enough to feature while Naci Ünüvar, Fernando Calero and Jose Gregera are all doubts for the game.
  • Sevilla are still without Saúl as he is out until December, while Suso and Ejuke joined him on the injury list after picking up injuries in the 5-1 defeat to Barca.

Prediction

  • In a tense showdown, Espanyol, currently placed 15th in the league with 10 points, are striving to secure their position above the relegation zone. Despite a good start to the season for a newly promoted side, winning three and drawing one of their first 10 matches, they face defensive challenges, having conceded 17 goals already.
  • As for Sevilla, they sit 13th with 12 points and aim to recover from a recent setback against Barcelona, halting their positive streak
  • Both teams are coming off heavy away defeats with Espanyol suffering a 4-1 loss to Athletic Club and Sevilla a 5-1 defeat away to league leaders FC Barcelona and will be looking to get back to winning ways. All of Espanyol's 10 points have come at home while Sevilla are yet to win away from home. Espanyol's home form will be key for their survival while Garcia Pimienta knows winning away from home will be key if he has to take Sevilla back to the European places.
