Espanyol Sevilla betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 6^th position of the league, with 29 points won, after 9 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Real Betis, by (3‑5). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Deportivo Alavés, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 9 points in away matches and 20 points at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 8 goals conceded at home, against 7 goals scored and 20 conceded in away matches. In their last match, for the Copa del Rey, they got an away win against Atlético Madrid by (1‑2). In the last 10 away league matches Sevilla has a record of 3 wins and 7 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 0‑0 (4 out of 10 matches) and 1‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Sevilla is still in a quiet situation within the Spanish Championship due to good results accumulated in the first rounds but it is going through a bad moment in the competition, since it has not won for five rounds and comes from three straight losses. The last of them took place away from home, against Alaves, in a game where it had more ball possession, but failed in offensive terms, suffering thus another setback far from its dominions. Although it is among the ten worst attacks in the competition, it was more visible in the later rounds as it did not score goals in three of its last five games. Playing away from home, the team failed to win even a third of the points, and in this condition has an average of two goals conceded per game. The 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 should be the tactical formation used in this clash, with a highlight for Banega in the creation.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Rico, Sébastien Corchia, Escudero, Gabriel Mercado, Clément Lenglet, Steven​ N'Zonzi, Éver Banega, Pablo Sarabia, Joaquín Correa, Franco Vázquez, Luis Muriel.
Coach: J. Sampaoli Moya.
