Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After impressing in a 2-2 draw with local rivals Barcelona, Espanyol will look to return to winning ways in La Liga when they take on Sevilla on Matchday 24. Los Periquitos are on a five-game winless run in Primeira Division, meaning that they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Sevilla. Both Melamed and Morlanes are banned for the hosts, but they are not regarded as first-team regulars.
Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Elche. The Andalusian outfit are eager to melt Real Madrid’s advantage in the La Liga table, but beating Espanyol on the road is easier said than done. Yet another close encounter is on the cards at RCDE Stadium, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. The good news for the visitors is that Argentina international Ocampos has overcome his injury.
