Espanyol have enjoyed a strong recent home record, with all three of their league victories in 2024/25 coming in Catalonia, but they struggled against their Andalucian visitors.

Sevilla now move up to ninth in the table overnight, with Espanyol just one point above the relegation zone, with 10 points on the board this season.
