Sevilla set to move back into the Champions League spots
2223
On Friday night, Sevilla host Leganes at the Sanchez Pizjuan in a potentially crucial clash for the home side in the race for the Champions League spots for next season.
Two defeats in Sevilla’s last three La Liga games have hampered their chances of a top-four finish this season. Last time out, the team from Andalucia suffered a 1-0 defeat at Girona.
The defeat coupled with results elsewhere have left Joaquin Caparros’ team fifth, but only behind fourth-place Getafe by virtue of an inferior head-to-head record.
The home sides recent outings in the Spanish top-flight have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league games.
Sevilla have a respectable recent home record in La Liga, as they have won four of their last five matches on home soil in the Spanish top-flight. The home side has been prolific in La Liga at the Sanchez Pizjuan of late, scoring at least two goals in seven of their last eight home matches.
Leganes have enjoyed a relatively steady campaign in La Liga. The visitors currently sit 13th place in the Spanish top-flight table, seven points clear of the relegation zone. They look all-but safe from the drop to the Segunda this season.
However, the visitors have struggled to pick up wins of late, as they are winless in five matches in La Liga, having picked up three draws and suffered two defeats. Leganes recent league outings have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their seven La Liga matches.
Leganes have a poor recent away record in the Spanish top-flight, as they have won just twice in ten games on their travels while losing six of their last nine away games in La Liga.
Forebet predicts that Sevilla will record a victory in a high scoring clash to move back into the Champions League spots, at least temporarily.
