Espanyol v Sevilla Betting Preview: Latest odds, team news, tips and predictions

Both Espanyol and Sevilla sides enjoyed huge victories in the Copa del Rey in midweek and both will be hoping to transfer that form to La Liga this weekend.

The hosts grabbed a famous 1-0 win over cross-city rivals Barcelona, ending the Blaugrana's 29 match unbeaten run, while Sevilla became the first Spanish side to win at the Wanda Metropolitano beating Atletico Madrid by a 2-1 scoreline.

With the second legs of their respective quarter finals coming up in a few days, both managers are likely to make changes to their starting elevens.

Team news

Neither side have any new injury concerns after their midweek encounters, although Daniel Carrico and Nico Pareja remain long term absentees for Sevilla.

Despite boasting some talented attacking players, Espanyol have been one of the lowest scoring teams in La Liga this term, while Sevilla's total of seven goals scored in ten away games does not inspire much confidence.

The Andalusians barely managed a shot on goal in their 1-0 defeat at struggling Alaves last weekend, and while they enjoyed a great cup win in midweek, questions still remain about new coach Vincenzo Montella.

Tips and predictions

Under 2.5 goals is priced at 8/11 (1.73) and this selection has paid out in 14 of Espanyol's 19 matches in La Liga this term, including the first meeting between these two sides back in August which finished 1-1.

Sevilla, meanwhile, have netted just once in their last three away league games, meaning a low-scoring game looks likely in Barcelona on Saturday lunchtime.
