There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Sevilla leading Espanyol by 21 points.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Espanyol have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Sevilla form and stats
5-4-2 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga numbers at home for Sevilla so far this season.
Sevilla faced defeat in their previous match, away at Celta de Vigo (1-2). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Deportivo Alavés that ended 1-1.
Heartbreak for Sevilla in their last match as Celta de Vigo's P. Sisto scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Sevilla are traveling soon after this match as the Europa League match at CFR Cluj awaits in four days.
Sevilla has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. From these home matches, Sevilla have conceded only 9 goals.
Espanyol form and stats
There's been little loot from Espanyol's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 11 away games in the La Liga. Espanyol, who have the most conceded goals (40) in La Liga, only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.
Raúl de Tomás scored in Espanyol's previous match, the home game against Mallorca that ended 1-0. Prior to that match, the Espanyol manager A. Fernández Antuña faced defeat when travelling to Granada and losing 1-2.
The schedule is very tough for Espanyol now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa League game at Wolverhampton Wanderers is waiting in only four days.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Espanyol have conceded 17 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Espanyol - Sevilla 0-2. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: seven - one - two (Sevilla wins - draws - Espanyol wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
