Head to Head: Espanyol vs Sevilla

Match Preview

Espanyol and Sevilla, two of Spain’s most historic clubs, will face off on 25 October in a match that promises to be full of excitement and intrigue.

Espanyol has had a solid start to the season, sitting in the top half of the table, while Sevilla has been more inconsistent and finds itself in the bottom half of the standings.

However, form goes out the window when these two bitter rivals meet, and anything can happen on matchday.

Espanyol

Espanyol has been one of the surprise packages of La Liga this season, with the team playing attractive football and getting results.

One of the key reasons for Espanyol's success has been the form of striker Raul de Tomas, who has scored five goals in eight league games.

Sevilla

Sevilla has been one of the most successful clubs in Spain in recent years, winning the Europa League six times.

However, the club has struggled to find consistency in La Liga this season, winning just three of their eight games.

Sevilla will be hoping to turn their season around with a win against Espanyol, but they will need to improve their defensive record if they are to do so.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but I think Espanyol will edge it.

The home side has been in good form this season, and they will be confident of beating Sevilla, who have struggled for consistency.
