Sevilla vs Espanyol Match Preview: La Liga Clash on May 9, 2026

Sevilla host Espanyol at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on 9 May 2026 in La Liga (Regular Season - 35). Sevilla enter the round in 17th place on 37 points, while Espanyol sit 13th with 39 points.

Sevilla Availability

Sevilla face several concerns. Marcão (Wrist Injury) is sidelined and will not feature in central defense. In midfield, Manu Bueno (Knee Injury) is doubtful, while Isaac Romero is listed as Isaac (Injury) and is doubtful for the attacking line. With no top scorers data available, there is no confirmed major blow in terms of proven goal output, but the cluster of absences and doubts across defense, midfield, and attack reduces Jorge Sampaoli’s rotation options in a tight relegation battle.

Espanyol Availability

Espanyol also have issues in the final third. Javi Puado (Knee Injury) is sidelined, removing a versatile attacking option. C. Ngonge (Knee Injury) is doubtful, leaving his availability up in the air and potentially limiting wide and second-striker alternatives. Playmaker Edu Expósito, the team’s leading assist provider with 6 assists in 32 appearances, is available and expected to shoulder extra creative responsibility.

Impact Summary

Both sides lose depth in attack, but Espanyol retain their primary creator Edu Expósito. Sevilla’s mix of defensive and attacking doubts could be more disruptive structurally, while Espanyol’s main concern is reduced variety and freshness in their forward options.
