Preview
Sevilla head into this after a 3-1 win over Valencia in their previous La Liga match, which ensured a first win in four matches for Lopetegui’s men across competitions.
Gomez, Montiel and Mir scored in the first half before Duro pulled one back for Valencia but was not enough as Sevilla picked up three important points.
This win sent them to 4th in the league table with 11 points from 5 matches and they are keen to build on the victory.
On the other hand, Espanyol’s return to the top division has not gone according to plan but after picking up their first win on Wednesday, they are keen to get cracking.
Espanyol beat Alaves 1-0 in their last match through de Tomas’ penalty which helped them pick up their first three points of the season.
With that win, Espanyol jumped to 13th in the table with 6 points from as many games.

Prediction: Sevilla 2-0 Espanyol
Sevilla looks a more formidable team ahead of this contest and we expect them to complete successive wins in the league.
Espanyol picked up their first win earlier but still are under pressure with a number of key players missing.
Lopetegui’s men are good at home with a sound defensive record. Hence, we see them clinch all the three points at stake.
Players to watch out for: En-Nesyri, Ocampos, de Tomas and Gil.
