Espanyol vs Sevilla

16/2- Espanyol are on a tipsy-topsy ride in terms of their point table fluctuations, they have been in the top half of the table since the season began but they have not been able to live up to the expectations from their matches. They are currently placed at the 5^th spot and are in a rat race for the third spot in the league. After a shocking home defeat last week they prepare to play hosts to Sevilla this week. Sevilla are placed 7^th on the points table but they are a side that has scored consistently and heavily against all opponents. Earlier this season when both the teams faced off, Sevilla had lost 2-3 to Espanyol playing at home and this would add to the confidence of Espanyol while playing at home.

Espanyol have won 4, lost 4 and drawn 2 in the last 10 matches which shows that their form is poor as compared to their opponents Sevilla who have won 6 of the last 10 matches while lost just 2 matches. Espanyol would want to get some points after the loss last week against Reacreativo Huelva and the fans would be looking at their leading striker Tamudo, who has scored 10 goals this season, to deliver for the side. Luis Garcia is another player who could bring the side out of trouble. The biggest boost for the home side is that their opponents are having a terrible season away from home and they have been able to win just a couple of matches away from home.

Sevilla on the other hand have drawn their last match while playing at home against Barccelona and that would be a great positive factor for the side. With Fabiano and Kanoute they have two wonderfully good strikers but what would count this time is their ability to score away from home.

Prediction: 1-1, draw
