Espanyol vs Sevilla prediction 25.10.2024 | La Liga

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Friday, 25th October, 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: RCDE Stadium (Cornella de Llobregat)

Espanyol are a team that traveled between the La Liga and La Liga 2 in recent seasons. Last year, they managed to secure promotion to La Liga but had to go through the playoffs. This season, the popular Parakeets are only looking to survive somehow. However, four losses in the last five matches are definitely a reason for concern. They are still out of the danger zone (15th place) but just two points away from the 18th-placed Leganes. At this moment, most football pundits believe that Espanyol are the fourth or fifth-worst team in La Liga and that they could secure survival because Las Palmas, Valladolid, and Leganes really struggled so far.

Sevilla are on a decline. From the top-four team in Spain, they quickly became a mid-team at best. In the recent two seasons, they finished 11th and 13th but saved the 2022/23 season with the Europa League title. Now, for the third year in a row, the Andalusian team are not looking good in La Liga, and another mid-table finish looks like the most realistic scenario. They are in 13th place with 12 points from ten rounds (1.2 ppg), which is only slightly better than last year (1.08 ppg).

Espanyol vs Sevilla pick: Both teams to score

Espanyol are in terrible form, losing four in the last five matches. Still, they are scoring regularly and have scored in four of those five games. On the other hand, keeping a clean sheet looks like an impossible task, as they failed to do so in the last seven games. Additionally, they have been excellent for this type of bet at home, as both teams scored in 80% of their games (four out of five).

Sevilla looked pretty good before the international break as they won seven points in three games. In their last game, they suffered a big 5:1 loss, but that was against Barcelona on the road. Still, they scored against Barca and also scored at least a goal in the last six consecutive games.

In the previous five h2h games, both teams scored on four occasions. Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, we believe that both teams to score bet should be the best option for the upcoming La Liga tie.
