Looking for the best Espanyol vs Sevilla prediction? Friday’s La Liga fixture promises an intense battle at RCDE Stadium as both teams aim to bounce back from heavy defeats. Espanyol will host 13th-placed Sevilla in this Matchday 11 clash, hoping to end a long winless streak against their Andalusian rivals. Expect a tightly contested match between two sides that need points to climb the La Liga table.
Espanyol, coming off a 4-1 loss to Athletic Bilbao, will look to turn their fortunes around at home, where their record has been shaky this season. Sevilla, despite a 5-1 hammering by Barcelona, come into this game with confidence, having shown more consistency in recent matches. Expect both teams to employ defensive tactics early, with Espanyol aiming to disrupt Sevilla's passing play and the visitors looking to press high and exploit Espanyol’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Sevilla, unbeaten in their last 10 matches against Espanyol, will approach this game as favorites, focusing on controlling possession and creating chances through the wings, where Dodi Lukebakio and Stanis Idumbo Muzambo will be key players.
Espanyol
Espanyol finds themselves in 15th place in La Liga, having won just three of their opening 10 matches. Their recent form has been concerning, losing four of their last five games, including a heavy 4-1 defeat against Athletic Bilbao last weekend. Defensively, Espanyol has struggled this season, conceding 17 goals, one of the worst records in the league.
Manolo Gonzalez’s side will need to rely on players like Javier Puado, who leads their goal-scoring chart with three goals, and Jofre Carreras, a key creator with two assists. Espanyol has struggled to maintain possession, averaging just 42.3% over the season, which could leave them vulnerable against Sevilla's stronger midfield.
Injuries have plagued Espanyol throughout the season, but the expected return of key players like Carlos Romero and Irvin Cardona could boost their chances. However, the Periquitos will need to tighten up defensively, as they have often been exposed by more dominant teams, particularly in wide areas.
With Espanyol having lost both encounters against Sevilla last season, their challenge will be to disrupt the visitors’ rhythm and make better use of their attacking chances, particularly from set pieces where they have been dangerous.
Sevilla
Sevilla travels to Espanyol after a disappointing 5-1 loss to Barcelona, but Garcia Pimienta’s men remain optimistic, having gone unbeaten in their previous three games before the defeat. Sitting 13th in La Liga, Sevilla has shown flashes of improvement this season, with three wins and three draws from their first 10 matches.
Sevilla’s form has been bolstered by the contributions of Dodi Lukebakio, who has netted three times this season, and the return to form of Stanis Idumbo Muzambo. Defensively, Sevilla has been more solid than Espanyol, conceding 15 goals compared to Espanyol’s 17, and they will look to exploit Espanyol’s weak defense.
Despite a poor away record this season, Sevilla has been dominant in their recent meetings with Espanyol, winning seven of the last 10 matches between the two. Key players like Loic Bade and Nemanja Gudelj will be essential in maintaining defensive stability, while the creativity of Gerard Fernandez and Chidera Ejuke could unlock Espanyol’s defense.
Injuries remain a concern for Sevilla, but their squad depth should see them cope well. The visitors will aim to control possession, where they average 54.3%, and capitalize on Espanyol's defensive weaknesses.
Possible Team Lineups
Espanyol (predicted): Joan Garcia, Omar El Hilali, Marash Kumbulla, Leandro Cabrera, Jofre Carreras, Alvaro Tejero, Alex Kral, Pol Lozano, Carlos Romero, Irvin Cardona, Alejo Veliz.
Sevilla (predicted): Oerjan Haaskjold Nyland, Jose Angel Carmona, Loic Bade, Marcao, Adria Pedrosa, Lucien Agoume, Nemanja Gudelj, Gerard Fernandez, Dodi Lukebakio, Isaac Romero, Stanis Idumbo Muzambo.
Match Expectation
Friday’s game is likely to be a tight affair, with both teams desperate to secure points after their recent heavy defeats. Sevilla will look to dominate possession and press high up the field, aiming to create chances through their wingers. Espanyol, on the other hand, will focus on counterattacking and set pieces, as they aim to exploit Sevilla’s occasional defensive lapses.
Our experts expect a match with a lot of goal-scoring opportunities, especially for Sevilla, who have a better record in front of goal this season. While Espanyol will be difficult to break down at home, Sevilla’s superior form and recent dominance in this fixture make them the likely winners.
Sevilla’s attacking threat could result in a few goals, and we predict a 2-1 win for the visitors, with Espanyol finding the back of the net but ultimately falling short.
Key Stats
How to Bet on This Match
For this match, our pick is Sevilla to win 2-1. Espanyol’s defensive issues make them vulnerable against Sevilla, who will be looking to bounce back after their Barcelona loss. We recommend betting on Sevilla to win and both teams to score (BTTS Yes).
With Sevilla’s superior record in this fixture, another good bet is to back over 2.5 goals in this match. Espanyol’s struggles at the back and Sevilla’s consistent scoring make this an attractive option for bettors.

Our expert recommendation for this match is a correct score bet of 2-1 in favor of Sevilla. While Espanyol will fight hard at home, Sevilla’s quality and recent form give them the edge. We also expect Sevilla to dominate the game and have more corners, so betting on over 4.5 Sevilla corners is another solid option.
Both teams are likely to find the back of the net, so a bet on BTTS Yes is a strong choice for punters looking for value. This match is likely to be open, with both sides creating opportunities in front of goal.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
