Espanyol have conceded in their last 7 matches (15 goals leaked).
Sevilla have won 7 of their last 9 matches vs Espanyol (2 draws).
Sevilla have scored 2+ goals in 5 of their last 6 matches vs Espanyol.

Head to Head

Sevilla hold a 33-12 lead over Espanyol across 56 previous clashes with 11 draws.

Sevilla are unbeaten in the last 10 meetings, including a 3-2 home win in May.

Espanyol Form & Team News

Espanyol are back in the top flight this season after earning promotion. With six losses and just 10 goals scored in 10 fixtures, it’s been a difficult start in La Liga.

After wins in rounds three and four, Espanyol were beaten 4-1 at Real Madrid. A 2-1 home loss to Villarreal and a 1-0 defeat at Real Betis followed.

A 2-1 home win over Mallorca came despite allowing 60% possession and 1.81 xG to their opponents. On Saturday, they were thrashed 4-1 at Athletic Bilbao with just 0.27 xG produced.

Coach Manolo Gonzalez made a triple change at half-time in the last match. He could ring the changes to his starting XI here.

Winger Edu Exposito is out after his serious knee injury back in January. Centre back Fernando Calero and striker Javier Puado will require late fitness tests.

Espanyol Predicted Lineup

Garcia; El Hilali, Gomez, Kumbulla, Olivan; Lozano, Kral; Carreras, Milla, Romero; Veliz.

Sevilla Form & Team News

Sevilla languish 13th in La Liga after 10 rounds of action. They’ve scored just 10 goals this season.

After one win in the first six matches, they scored late to beat Real Valladolid 2-1 at home. A 93rd minute goal was needed to rescue a 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao before beating Real Betis 1-0.

Their last match saw a 5-1 thrashing away at Barcelona. Sevilla allowed 3.89 xG, 21 shots and seven big chances to Blaugrana in a poor defensive display.

Coach Garcia Pimienta is without Saul Niguez in midfield due to injury. Teenage winger Stanis Idumbo Muzambo scored against Barcelona from the bench and could get a start here.

Two players are doubtful after going off injured on Sunday. Suso and Chidera Ejuke will need to be assessed to determine their involvement.

Sevilla Predicted Lineup

Nyland; Navas, Bade, Marcao, Pedrosa; Agoume, Gudelj, Fernandez; Lukebakio, Romero, Muzambo.

Verdict

Espanyol v Sevilla

I see Sevilla winning this match and scoring over 1.5 goals as a team.
