Sevilla head into this after a 0-0 draw against Alaves in their previous La Liga clash, missing out on their chance to reduce the gap on Real Madrid in the table.
With 2 wins form their last 5 matches across competitions, Sevilla has dipped in form and would like to get back to winning ways in this one to set the tone.
