ESL vs SEV Dream11: Espanyol’s promotion from the Segunda last season was built on a stubborn defensive resilience. They have taken that into La Liga with the Catalans having only conceded 34 goals so far this season. Only two other teams in the bottom-half have conceded fewer goals. Since Julen Lopetegui’s appointment in the summer of 2019, Sevilla have kept the most La Liga clean sheets and over a third of his matches, across all competitions, has seen the Andalusians win to nil. Given the record of Espanyol, a low-scoring away win looks a good choice for this one.
