Preview
Espanyol come into this after having drawn at home 2-2 to Barcelona in their previous La Liga clash on Sunday.
Darder and de Tomas scored for the hosts while Pedri and de Jong found the net for Barcelona. This point brought an end to their two-match losing run.
However, they remain winless in their last 6 attempts and hope to arrest this poor run of form. They are just 8 points off the relegation zone and need a positive run of wins to stay as far as possible.
Currently, Espanyol is in 14th place with 28 points from 24 matches.
On the other hand, Sevilla beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-1 in their mid-week UEL clash as Rakitic, Ocampos and Martial scored for the hosts.
Sevilla remains unbeaten in their last 5 matches across competitions and aim to close the gap on Real Madrid in the La Liga as well.
Lopetegui’s men are 2nd in the table with 50 points; 4 points shy of Los Blancos. Hence, the title race is still on with plenty of action still left.
Both these sides last met in September, where Sevilla won 2-0 at home through strikes from En-Nesyri and Mir in either half.
