Barcelona, Spain
My people, e be like say La Liga don dey hot as Espanyol go face Sevilla for RCDE Stadium this coming Monday night. Match go start for 8pm UK time, and this one na for the 2025-26 season. Espanyol dey try make am back-to-back wins after dem don see their last two matches go down the drain – wetin dem fit do?
Espanyol currently stand sixth with 18 points from 12 matches (no be small matter, my guy). But remember say dem don lose two matches back to back against Alaves and Villarreal, so these boys dey really need to find their form! Meanwhile, Sevilla dey ninth with 16 points from their own opening matches. Dem go need three points to rise above Espanyol. The pressure don show, and the match go hot!
Last season, Espanyol finish for 14th place e mean say dem no get any tight competition for dem. But this season, hope dey shine for dem. Dem manage five wins, three draws, and four defeats from 12 league matches this year. Na true say dem try, but if dem no buck up, dem go still dey struggle.
Sevilla, on the other hand, be the reigning kings of “not losing to Espanyol” as dem don beat dem in the last 12 matches. Na wah! Dem even gree win three out of the last four clashes. The last time dem meet for January, dem settle for 1-1 draw. As e dey be now, both teams wan make am work, and nobody wan lose!
For this match, Espanyol dey plan to start with Kike Garcia and Roberto Fernandez o. Pere Milla dey shine for dem this season with four goals, so make sure say you look out for am! But no forget say dem still dey battle without Charles Pickel wey dey feel body pain and Javier Puado wey don chop injury wahala.
Sevilla too get their own injury wahala. César Azpilicueta dey doubt, Tanguy Nianzou still dey sidelined, and José Ángel Carmona dey serve suspension. Na wah for dem o! But we fit see some star players like Rubén Vargas wey don score three goals and set up four assists. E go really need show face if dem wan flex for this match!
As e be now, both teams dey look for a way to turn their recent form around. Espanyol fit just dey struggle for home ground, with only one win from their last four matches. That one dey pain, abeg! As for Sevilla, dem don gree win three of their travels, but dem still dey do jaga-jaga.
Match go be like soap opera, as fans dey expect tense moment. Both teams gree say na points dem wan share, but you know say for football, anything fit happen. No be so dem dey fit draw again, na wah o!
So, my people prepare your popcorn and don’t forget to tune in as these two giants enter battle on Monday night. Either na shocker win for home side or dem go come out with just points, we go see wetin go happen.
