Sevilla’s Late-Season Struggles Continue
Despite being a team historically associated with European football, Sevilla have been a shadow of their former selves this season. A turbulent campaign marked by managerial instability has left them fighting for their top-tier status yet again. Under Joaquin Caparros, now in his fifth stint with the club, Sevilla have shown little improvement, and their recent form paints a worrying picture.
Their latest outing, a dramatic 3-2 loss to Celta Vigo, extended their winless run in La Liga to eight games. Defensive lapses and an absence of attacking sharpness continue to plague the Andalusians. With home advantage in this match, Sevilla must dig deep to avoid a disastrous slip into the bottom three.
Las Palmas Looking to Salvage Pride
Las Palmas’ return to La Liga has been turbulent, and after initial promise under new management, their form has disintegrated in recent weeks. A third straight loss, this time at the hands of Rayo Vallecano, leaves them nearly out of time and options. Despite Diego Martinez’s efforts since taking charge, the team has failed to sustain any momentum.
They arrive in Seville as underdogs, carrying a poor run of results and an injury-hit squad. Yet with nothing to lose and everything to gain, the Canary Islanders may be inclined to play with more freedom, an approach that could catch Sevilla off guard.
Team News
Sevilla:
The hosts will be without defender José Ángel Carmona due to suspension. Injuries further complicate matters, ruling out recent signings Akor Adams and Ruben Vargas. There are also doubts surrounding Tanguy Nianzou, Sambi Lokonga, and Djibril Sow.
Projected XI (4-4-2):
Nyland; Ramon Martinez, Bade, Gudelj, Kike Salas; Juanlu, Agoume, Saul, Adria Pedrosa; Lukebakio, Gatito
Las Palmas:
The visitors are missing key defensive figure Scott McKenna and striker Fabio Silva. Kirian Rodriguez remains out with illness, while the status of other players remains uncertain.
Projected XI (4-4-2):
Horkas; Viti, Alex Suarez, Juanma Herzog, Mika Marmol; Javier Munoz, Essugo, Stefan Bajcetic, Alberto Moleiro; Januzaj, McBurnie
Prediction: Goals on Both Ends
Both sides are low on confidence but still capable of delivering an open, high-energy contest. Sevilla’s fragility at the back and Las Palmas’ need for goals could result in a back-and-forth match. Expect vulnerabilities to be exposed on both ends as desperation fuels risk-taking.
Prediction: Both teams to score
