Espanyol vs Sevilla Predictions

• Sevilla have not lost any of their last ten La Liga matches
• Espanyol are without a win in six games
• Sevilla have only been beaten twice in 12 away league fixtures

Espanyol tumbling towards trouble?

Espanyol have hit a real rut over the last month, with a five game winless run in La Liga leaving them only eight points above the relegation zone.

Vicente Moreno’s side are having real problems in defence. They have conceded at least two goals in six successive matches, while failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 fixtures.

Their form at the RCDE Stadium has been disappointing too, losing two of the last three and already conceding 15 goals – only two sides outside the bottom three have a worse defensive record.

Sevilla closing in on Real

Sevilla meanwhile have won their last two matches, against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League and Elche in La Liga, and enter this fixture unbeaten in ten league fixtures since the end of November.

That form has helped them move to within four points of leaders Real Madrid (ahead of Saturday’s games), while they have already won five times in twelve away outings.

Julen Lopetegui’s side have won two of their last four on the road, keeping three clean sheets in the process, and have the best away defensive record in La Liga, conceding just six times in total.

Sevilla are an exceptionally strong team and their form is the polar opposite to Espanyol. I predict an away victory in this clash, but do not think there will be many goals, selecting 1-0 as a correct score prediction.
