Sevilla vs Espanyol

Stadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán is the venue, as well-performing Sevilla aim to maintain their solid start to this La Liga season against newly-promoted Espanyol.

Sevilla put three goals past Valencia within the 22nd minute of their 3-1 home league win last time out, making that feat for the first time since November 2003 en route to stretching their unbeaten La Liga start to the season (W3, D2). Seeking a third consecutive top-four finish for the first time in over six decades, the Andalusian faithful continues to dream of Sevilla’s second-ever La Liga title – a first since 1945/46. Notably, Julen Lopetegui’s men have won both top-flight matches at home this season, scoring precisely three goals on each occasion. As a result, ‘Los Nervionenses’ have now won 13 of their last 15 La Liga fixtures on home soil (L2) since a 2-2 draw with 2020/21 relegation boys Rea Valladolid in December 2020. Warm favorites to further add to that tally, Sevilla haven’t lost any of their last nine top-flight H2Hs as hosts (W6, D3).

On the other hand, Espanyol eked out a hard-earned 1-0 home win over rock-bottom Deportivo Alaves last time out to register their first La Liga victory since beating the same opposition in June 2020. Indeed, that triumph did not only bring their five-match winless start to this La Liga campaign (D3, L2) but a thoroughly disappointing run of 15 straight top-flight games without winning stretching back to 2019/20. However, the ‘Periquitos’ trip to Andalusia might stir some unpleasant memories, as they’ve failed to secure a single win across their previous seven La Liga visits to the Spanish autonomous community (D3, L4). On top of that, Espanyol have picked up just two wins in their last 19 La Liga encounters against Sevilla (D5, L12), conceding 2+ goals in four of the last five!
