Prediction: 2-1
Espanyol
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Valencia, Sevilla will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they host Espanyol to their Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Los Sevillanos are eyeing a top-four finish, and seeing that they have turned their stadium into a real fortress, home win should be considered. The likes of En Nesyri, Rakitic, and Jesus Navas should be recalled to the starting XI. Julen Lopetegui can’t count on injured midfielder Oliver Torres for Saturday’s match.
Los Periquitos, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Deportivo Alaves, and they managed to get one thanks to Raul de Tomas’ goal from the penalty spot. Espanyol recorded their first win of the season, but given their anything but good away record, we are tempted to put our money on the Andalusians. The likes of Calero, Herrera, Oier, Puado, and Vidal are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Diego Carlos):
Diego Carlos Santos Silva is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Nantes as a defender. His main position is centre-back and his preferred foot is right. Diego Carlos began his youth career at America-SP and in 2010 he moved to Desportivo Brasil. After spending the 2012/2013 season on loan at Sao Paulo, the 185-cm-tall defender returned to Desportivo Brasil.
However, he made his first-team debut with Madureira during his spell with the club (2014). In 2014 Diego Carlos signed a contract with Portuguese club Estoril Praia and he scored two goals in 39 appearances for the Primeira Liga club. It has to be noted, though, that he played for Porto B (on loan) in the 2014/2015 season.
Diego Carlos moved to French club Nantes in the summer of 2016 and you should bear in mind that he quickly established himself as a first-team regular with les Canaris. The Brazilian footballer scored two goals in 34 appearances for Nantes in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign. His contract with the Ligue 1 side expires on June 20, 2021.
Highlighted Team (Espanyol):
Espanyol are a Catalan club that plays in Spanish La Liga. Espanyol were founded in 1900 and their original name was Sociedad Espanola de Football. In 1901 the Catalan club changed its name to Club Espanol de Futbol. Los Periquitos used to play in bright yellow shirts in the past, but current colour of the team’s home kit is blue and white.
Espanyol’s fiercest rivals are Barcelona and the two teams face each other in the Catalan derby (Derbi barceloni). Espanyol have always been in Barca’s shadow, but it has to be noted that los Periquitos have won four Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup trophies).
The likes of Raul Tamudo, Jose Maria, Antonio Argiles and Mauricio Pochettino are players with most appearances for the Catalan outfit. Espanyol play their home games at Estadio Cornella-El Prat and the capacity of the stadium is 40,500. Los Periquitos have never participated in the Champions League.
