[LaLiga] I see Sevilla as the slight favorite for this match. Despite the challenges, I believe they have the ability to defeat Espanyol.

Match Stats

The Catalans are currently struggling to find consistency. They sit in the lower part of the table with ten points from the first ten rounds. In recent games, Espanyol won one match but suffered four losses. The start of the season was far from ideal for them: two defeats and a draw in their opening three matches. As a result, Espanyol has lost six times, drawn once, and won three times.


A significant factor in these results is their defensive play. The team has conceded 17 goals in ten matches, with only four teams allowing more. In their last game, they conceded four goals to Athletic Bilbao. Their defense clearly needs improvement, as they risk slipping into the relegation zone. Currently, Espanyol occupies 15th place in the table.


The Andalusians seemed to carry over last season’s struggles into the start of this one, delivering poor performances. The team went four matches without a win, securing just one victory in their first five games. However, Sevilla managed to turn things around, going three matches unbeaten with two wins and a draw. Still, in their previous game, they suffered a crushing 1-5 defeat to Barcelona.


Given Barcelona's excellent form, it’s tough to judge Sevilla based on one match, especially since they're not yet on the level to challenge Barça, particularly away. Sevilla is in 13th place with 12 points from ten rounds, with a goal difference of 10:15. The gap to the European competition spots is only five points. Matches like the one against Espanyol present a good opportunity for Sevilla to fight for a place in Europe.

Prediction: 1-1
