Sevilla failed to score a single goal in their last 180 minutes of La Liga football, drawing nil-nil with Valencia and losing 1-0 to Real Madrid. Will our score prediction favour a Sevilla win at home against seventh-place Real Sociedad?
The two Spanish heavyweights will lock horns at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Although spring is on the way, Sevilla aren’t enjoying their usual late season success.
Los Rojiblancos will begin round No. 27 in 15th place, six points off the relegation zone. Although Sevilla would seem safe with the quality of teams around them, there is still a lot of football left to play.
