Sevilla vs Espanyol Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 4th May 2023

Sevilla are brushing most resistance aside in the La Liga at the moment. In current form, their upcoming match against Espanyol at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan this coming Thursday looks like the next victim in line.

Sevilla approach round 33 as number 11 in the La Liga table with 41 points on their account so far. With 32 rounds behind them, Espanyol have amassed 31 points, placing them as number 18 in the standings.

Both teams should be motivated to improve on their situation in the lower parts of the La Liga table.

Sevilla scored 14 goals, conceded 17 and fought their way to three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Espanyol hit the target 11 times in the last ten outings, which creates an average of 1.1 goals a game. They conceded two goals per match for a total of 20 goals, while claiming two clean sheets as well.

The last time these two teams faced off against each other, Sevilla came away as 2-3 winners. No doubt they are planning a similar outcome on Thursday.
