Team News

Sevilla
Real Sociedad
  • Djibril Sow and Lucas Ocampos are both unavailable through suspension and will sit this one out.
  • Hannibal Mejbri could fill in for the suspended Sow, especially due to Sevilla's current midfield absences.
  • Sevilla could well continue with a 4-4-2 formation after their impressive solidarity against Real Madrid on Sunday evening.
  • Andre Silva seems to be the preferred option up top at the moment for Imanol Alguacil.
  • Arsen Zakharyan should continue at left midfield - he has started the last three games there for Sociedad.
  • La Real could see some rotation in their squad following their disappointing exit in the Copa Del Rey at the hands of Mallorca this week.

Prediction

  • Sevilla welcome Real Sociedad to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan at lunchtime on Saturday, aiming to take advantage of a deflated La Real side, who haven't won on home soil since the last time these two met back in November. Both Sergio Ramos and Jesus Navas were sent off in that game.
  • Sevilla, despite their recent hustle and grit under Quique Sanchez Flores who took over at Christmas, haven't scored in their last two - they could spend the most of their time on Saturday trying to soak up the fierce counter-attacks of Real Sociedad. The visitors could move into sixth with a victory, whilst Sevilla can go eight points safe amidst the mayhem of La Liga's bottom half.
  • Expect both teams to score here, but Sevilla could take the opportunity to give their squad and fans some well needed confidence.
