Sevilla form and stats

Sevilla was sent out of Champions League in the group stage last season.

Sevilla are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the La Liga, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).

Two away games in a row for Sevilla, whose coach Argote could celebrate last time after the win against Espanyol. Defender Carmona was the best team player with a rating of 8.84. Carmona scored two goals, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 4 of 10 duels.

The game earlier was the Champions League-battle against Manchester City, a home defeat (0-4).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sevilla manager Argote as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Villarreal.

Sevilla has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 5 goals from 3 games.
