Sevilla 1-1 RCD Espanyol

Current streaks

Recent form

Sevilla

Sevilla's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The team have struggled defensively, conceding an alarming 14 goals in their last six games, with a high average of 2.33 goals conceded per match. Notably, Sevilla have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their 4-3 loss to Atlético de Madrid and 4-2 defeat against Real Madrid were particularly goal-laden affairs. Despite their defensive woes, Sevilla have managed to find the net regularly, scoring in five out of their last six matches. However, their inconsistency is reflected in their mid-table position, currently sitting 11th in La Liga with 26 points from 20 games.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent form has been lacklustre, with the team struggling in 18th position in La Liga. Their last six matches have yielded only one win, which came in their most recent fixture against Real Valladolid. The Periquitos have been involved in a series of low-scoring affairs, with five of their last six matches seeing under 2.5 goals. Espanyol's attack has been particularly blunt, managing just four goals in their last six outings, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, they've been slightly more solid, conceding five goals in the same period. The team's inability to score has been a significant issue, with three of their last six matches ending in goalless performances for Espanyol. Despite their struggles, the recent win against Real Valladolid may provide a glimmer of hope for the Barcelona-based club as they seek to climb out of the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Sevilla

Sevilla have shown a mixed but largely positive form at home in their recent fixtures. The Andalusian side have remained unbeaten in five of their last six home matches, securing three victories and two draws. Notably, Sevilla have been involved in a series of low-scoring encounters, with all six games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their defensive prowess is evident, having kept three clean sheets in this period and conceding only 0.67 goals per game. However, their attacking output has been somewhat limited, scoring just 0.83 goals per game. The team's ability to grind out results is reflected in their narrow margins of victory, with all three wins coming by a single goal. Interestingly, both teams scored in only 33% of these matches, highlighting Sevilla's tendency towards tight, defensive affairs at their home ground.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol have been struggling mightily in their away fixtures, enduring a concerning run of five consecutive defeats on the road. This poor form has contributed significantly to their precarious 18th position in La Liga. The Periquitos have been particularly goal-shy away from home, failing to score in three of their last five away matches. Their defence has also been porous, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game in their last six away fixtures. A notable high-scoring game was their 4-1 defeat to Girona, which exemplifies their defensive frailties. The sole bright spot in this dismal run was their 4-0 victory over San Tirso in the Copa del Rey, but this has been overshadowed by their league performances. With only one clean sheet in their last six away games, Espanyol clearly have significant work to do to improve their fortunes on the road.
