RCD ESPANYOL (15th - 10pts)
vs
SEVILLA FC (13th - 12pts)
Kickoff: 2100 CET — RCDE STADIUM
Look, that away match against Barcelona was an anomaly. Unfortunately, the lingering damage was the loss of Ejuke for a few months from a severe hamstring injury. This means we’ll already need a lift from someone else after we had just gotten our wings.
Our away form isn’t the greatest. Barring the Barça defeat, we sit at 3 draws and a loss, showing we manage to stay in these games. Our recent record against Espanyol sees us at 9 matches unbeaten in the league. Although we’re a very different side these days, this is still a team we are capable of beating.
All eyes will be on how Pimienta chooses to replace Ejuke on the left. The centre of midfield is also interesting with the return to fitness for Lokonga & Sow, both appearing as substitutes last weekend. And as Nianzou returns from his suspension, does he deserve to regain his spot in the starting lineup?
I think everyone in and around the club knew we’d see many challenges this season. But i know this club doesn’t cower after a few setbacks. Jesús Navas is living proof. We are not leaving Catalunya empty handed.
VAMOS MI SEVILLA !!!

A good chance to try get back on track! We not been playing bad this season. We done decent in most games. Barca are playing awesome at moment so can’t read to much into that. Let’s see what the boys do that. Vamos!
It’s a test of character to bounce back and I don’t doubt we have the character, we just need to avoid errors and connect going forward. Barco is careless but I’d play him and put Pedrosa forward, and put Lukebakio on the right. Between Nianzou and Marcáo, they both give me the jitters.
Bade & Nianzou is my preferred pairing, and i want to see that tandem develop. Not really a fan of Juanlu in midfield, but i know he’ll put in a shift regardless.
Congolese contingent in full effect today!
Nianzou has me worried already
Their press giving us big problems.
What are we doing?
BAMMMMMMM
DODIIIIIIIII
WHAT A GOAL
Dodi! What a quality footballer this guy is! Wow!
Man if Issac had better control in this game we would be killing it.
Stanis looks great.
So far so good, defensively Sevilla don’t fully convince but are holding out without any great escapes.
