Espanyol vs Sevilla

Sevilla are aiming to build on some recent fine showings when they travel to Espanyol for a Monday night English Premier League fixture.

The hosts have looked off color lately and are also a bit erratic on home soil. Meanwhile, the visitors have done some good work on their travels and have enough quality to avoid defeat here.

Espanyol News

Espanyol went into the international break in poor form, losing their last two La Liga matches. Manolo Gonzalez's team fell 2-1 at Alaves before suffering a 2-0 home defeat to Villarreal in their previous fixture.

The defeat to Villarreal is part of a poor home record for Espanyol, who are winless in three of their last four league matches in front of their fans. They are currently sixth and will be keen to avoid slipping down the table.

One positive for Espanyol is that they often look sharp going forward, scoring in five of their last six matches. However, they are just as unconvincing at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six home fixtures.

Espanyol News

Sevilla appear to be picking up some momentum, having won two of their last three matches. They claimed a 1-0 home victory over Osasuna in their previous fixture, with Ruben Vargas’ first-half penalty proving the difference.

Sitting just two points off the top six, Sevilla can leapfrog the hosts with a win on Monday. The good news for Matias Almeyda's team is that they have also shown some quality on their travels, winning four of their last six away matches across all competitions.

Sevilla have looked sharp in attack lately, scoring in five of their last six away matches across all competitions, while also winning at least one half in four of those fixtures. However, defending remains a problem, having failed to keep a clean sheet in four of those six fixtures.

Head to Head

Sevilla have a solid record in this fixture, with eight wins and four draws in the last 12 matches against Espanyol. The hosts have also won four of the last five away meetings, including a 2-0 victory in last season’s clash.

Verdict

Espanyol v Sevilla

There are often goals in this fixture, with both teams scoring in four of their last five meetings. With neither defence looking convincing at the moment, Monday's clash is likely to serve up a similar outcome.

Sevilla have a solid record in this fixture, and given the results in the recent away meetings, they can do enough to earn a win or draw here. The hosts have won at least one half in four of their last six matches on the road and could be set for a repeat.
