Sevilla (home)
- Sevilla FC currently sit 17th in LaLiga with 37 points from 34 games.
- Their home record of W6, D4, L7 doesn’t help their position.
- A 1-0 win over Real Sociedad last weekend was vital.
- Sevilla have seen some improvement since Luis Garcia took over as coach in March 2026.
Espanyol (away)
- Espanyol are also winless in their last five LaLiga games (D2, L3), a run that has seen them fall to 13th in the table with 39 points from 34 matches.
- Manolo Gonzalez has been at the helm since March 2024 and has implemented a more structured and disciplined midfield setup, as well as a more patient build-up.
- They have only 19 goals in 17 away games (1.12 per game) and aren’t the highest scorers on the road.
- This game really is a tale of two cities when it comes to playing styles: Sevilla are high tempo, high risk and high reward, while Espanyol like to have the ball, build from the back and play at a more considered pace.
Key Players
Kike Garcia is Espanyol’s top scorer for the visitors with only 6 in 33 appearances .

Prediction
I’m backing Sevilla to win here at 2.13 and for there to be over 2.5 goals in the match at 2.22 , although I don’t think both teams will find the back of the net - Sevilla are just a little better defensively whilst Espanyol are a little lacking in the attacking areas.
