Sevilla vs Espanyol Prediction & Betting tips
A striking match on this day of Saturday is the one held by Sevilla and Espanyol for a new date of the Santander League.
Sevilla :
In my opinion, the Andalusian box is a favorite because of the collective potential that it has and especially because it has many variants in attack. For this reason and considering that it usually becomes strong in the Sánchez Pizjuán, we advise you to play a few euros to the simple triumph of those directed by Berizzo. At stake is to start the league well and get the best possible way to duel back against Istanbul in the Champions League.
Take into account that Sevilla comes from playing against Istanbul in Turkey for the previous phase of the Champions League (win 1-2 with goal at the end of Ben Yedder). The team is being led by Eduardo Berizzo after the departure of Jorge Sampaoli, being the objective of the technician to maintain the intensity and the competitiveness of the squad. There have been some important players, with other important players such as Muriel, Guido Pizarro and Nolito.
On the other hand do not forget that the Andalusian box has played several friendlies in the last weeks, standing out for being an attacked and offensive by nature. It comes from winning the two games that disputed by the Emirates Cup, after beating 0-1 to Leipzig and 1-2 to the organizer Arsenal. He then defeated Roma for the Antonio Puerta Trophy.
Espanyol :
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Espanyol has played some preparation friendlies, which have been positive from the football point of view. That yes, lost the last one that disputed (2-0 before Napoli in the stage San Paolo). He had previously beaten Borussia Dortmund 0-1, then equaled 0-0 against Twente and drawn 1-1 against Hamburg.
To conclude, we tell you that the “parakeets” continue to be led by Quique Sánchez Flores, a coach who succeeded in setting a relatively interesting proposal in the previous tournament. His goal is to remain competitive and uncomfortable to overcome, despite the departure of Ecuadorian Felipe Caicedo. The following reinforcements arrived: Piatti, Diego López, Naldo, Leo Baptistao, Sergio García and Granero.
In front of this panorama I play for a victory of the local picture because of the following reasons: First because Sevilla is an offensive team and atildado by nature, being feasible to handle the ball and forward its lines in a constant manner. Second because the Andalusian box has many variants in attack, demonstrating it in its friendlies and in the duel before Roma in Sanchez Pizjuán. And third, because Espanyol, despite being a complicated set to overcome, may end up losing by punctual plays or defensive errors caused by the pressure of his rival. Faced with this reality, we believe that the boys of Berizzo can score at least one or two goals and win the game.
