Sevilla vs Espanyol Predictions

Sevilla can claim key victory

The best bet is a Sevilla victory when they host Espanyol at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday. The visitors have lost their last two away games in the league and could be heading for another defeat here.

Both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. Sevilla are 17th with ten wins and 17 defeats, while Espanyol are 13th with ten wins and 15 losses.

Espanyol lost 2-0 to Real Madrid last weekend in their last Primera Liga outing and could not break their losing habit. They were priced as 3/1 outsiders to win the game, but still would have been hoping to be more competitive than the final margin of defeat.

Sevilla come into this game in good form at home, having won their last two home games in the Primera Liga.

Espanyol need to turn things around – they have not won in 17 Primera Liga games and have gone nine without a win on their travels. They have lost six times in the last eight of those away days.

The Espanyol attack is struggling in front of goal. They have gone three Primera Liga matches without scoring and haven’t found a way to score in four of their last five league games. Their last goal was against Barcelona last month.

They have been finding it hard to keep out their opponents lately, failing to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 18 Primera Liga games.

A 2-0 home win for Sevilla looks the best correct-score bet. There have been under 2.5 goals in Espanyol’s last three Primera Liga matches and they have suffered five 2-0 losses this season.
