"Starting with the hosts, while Sevilla might have stormed their way to a routine 4-0 romp against Real Oviedo last month, it appears that was just a minor boost for Matias Almeyda's downbeat squad. Now holding just a three-point buffer over the drop zone and with many around Andalusia looking over their shoulder at another looming relegation scrap, the former AEK Athens boss already faces serious scrutiny over his position."
"Dealing with a recent calf issue and struggling to find his feet since arriving in Andalusia over the summer, former Chelsea skipper Cesar Azpilicueta will once again miss out here. Likewise, the duo of Tanguy Nianzou and Swiss international Ruben Vargas are still dealing with respective hamstring injuries. However, serving a one-match suspension against Levante last week, Brazilian defender Marcao will return to Almeyda's squad."
Sevilla sit just three points above the relegation zone and face intense scrutiny over Matias Almeyda's position after a string of poor results. The side has lost three consecutive domestic matches by an aggregate 6-0, including a 3-0 home defeat to Levante and a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid. Several key players are unavailable: Cesar Azpilicueta (calf), Tanguy Nianzou, and Ruben Vargas (hamstrings) are injured, Akor Adams and Chidera Juke are on international duty, and Marcao returns from suspension. Celta Vigo arrive in positive form after a 4-1 home win over Valencia and pursue European qualification. Bookmakers offer 19/20 on a Celta Vigo draw-no-bet at Dachbet.
