RCD Espanyol vs Sevilla

Current streaks

Recent form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol are currently struggling in 15th position in La Liga, with their recent form showing a concerning pattern. The team have lost three consecutive matches, including heavy defeats to Athletic Club and Real Madrid, both ending in 4-1 scorelines. These high-scoring encounters have contributed to Espanyol's poor defensive record, conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game over their last six matches. Despite this, they have managed to find the net regularly, scoring in five out of their last six games. The lack of clean sheets is particularly worrying, with Espanyol failing to keep their opponents scoreless in their last seven matches. Their games tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. While Espanyol have shown they can win, as evidenced by their victories against Mallorca and Deportivo Alavés, their inconsistency and defensive frailties are clearly areas that need addressing if they hope to climb the table.

Sevilla

Sevilla's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. The team have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game, which has contributed to their negative goal difference of -2. Despite this, Sevilla have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six matches. Their most recent game against Barcelona was particularly high-scoring, with Sevilla suffering a heavy 5-1 defeat. This result stands out as an anomaly in their recent fixtures, which have otherwise been relatively low-scoring affairs. The team's attacking output has been modest, averaging just 1.17 goals per game. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 67% of Sevilla's recent matches, suggesting that while they are finding the net, they are also struggling to shut out their opponents consistently. Currently sitting in 13th position in La Liga, Sevilla's form will need to improve if they hope to climb the table.

Despite their 15th position in the league, Espanyol have maintained a positive goal difference at home, scoring 8 goals whilst conceding 7 across these six matches.

The Andalusian side have struggled defensively, conceding a worrying 14 goals in these fixtures, averaging 2.33 goals against per game.

Despite their struggles, Sevilla have managed to find the back of the net in five out of six matches, contributing to both teams scoring in 83% of these games. The team's inability to keep clean sheets, with only one in six matches, has been a significant factor in their poor away form. High-scoring affairs have been a common theme, with 67% of their away matches featuring over 2.5 goals, including notable defeats to Barcelona (5-1) and Liverpool (4-1 in a friendly). Sevilla's away form has undoubtedly contributed to their current 13th position in La Liga, with the team desperately seeking to improve their performances on the road.
