Competition: Spain La Liga
Competition: Sat 25.September
Match begins: 16:30 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (45500 seats)

Sevilla welcome Espanyol for another action-packed La Liga game here at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

Insights:
  • Sevilla have the fewest conceded goals (2) in La Liga
  • Espanyol have yet to win a game away.

It's no vacation for neither Sevilla nor Espanyol as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

These teams have little in common geographically as Espanyol have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
