Espanyol take on the visitors Sevilla in the round 11 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, October 25th at RCDE Stadium (Cornella de Llobregat).
Espanyol are still holding onto their ambitious plans, remembering their recent participation in European competitions. However, instead of repeating that success, they were relegated to the Segunda division, for the second time in recent years. Fortunately, the decision to appoint Manolo González paid off, and he brought the Catalan side back to the top level of Spanish football. So far, their performance in La Liga has been streaky. The newly promoted team started with two straight defeats without scoring. But then they drew with Atlético Madrid and picked up wins against Rayo Vallecano and Alavés. After losing to Real Madrid, Villarreal, and Real Betis, they bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Mallorca. However, in the last round after the international break, they suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat to Athletic Bilbao.

Sevilla is trying to improve, but not everything is going smoothly. "White Andalusia" managed to remain Spain's "fourth force" for quite some time under different managers. However, it all started to fall apart two years ago. Initially, their domestic struggles were compensated by another victory in their "signature" tournament, the Europa League. But last season, they finished last in their Champions League group and only accumulated 41 points in La Liga—a disastrous campaign, barely avoiding relegation. Even after last summer, they had to sell and release players to balance the finances. The goals for the new season were clear: to improve and progress. This responsibility was given to Javier García Pimienta, who took over as coach in the summer. In the first four matches under him, Sevilla collected just two points, but they gradually learned how to win at home and climbed the table. However, they were thoroughly outplayed by Barcelona, managing to score but eventually losing 1-5.
Sevilla has not lost in their last 10 meetings with Espanyol. They won both encounters last season in La Liga, each by a 3-2 scoreline. The visitors are considered the favorites. However, Espanyol, as a newcomer, is showing promise and will likely fight for points here. A solid bet would be on "total over 2.0 goals" in this match.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
