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

Sevilla host Espanyol at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on 2026-05-09 in La Liga, Regular Season - 35. Sevilla come in 17th with 37 points and a goal difference of -14, while Espanyol sit 13th on 39 points, also with a -14 goal difference.

Sevilla Availability

Sevilla have several concerns. Marcão (Wrist Injury) is sidelined. M. Bueno (Knee Injury) is doubtful. I. Romero (Injury) is doubtful. All three issues affect squad depth across defence and attack, with Marcão’s absence reducing experienced cover at the back and Isaac Romero listed as a potential loss in the forward line.

Espanyol Availability

Espanyol also face notable absences in attack. J. Puado (Knee Injury) is sidelined, removing a versatile forward option. C. Ngonge (Knee Injury) is doubtful, leaving question marks over another attacking piece for the visitors.

Impact Summary

Neither side has key top scorers listed in the available stats, but both lose attacking variety: Sevilla through the potential absence of Isaac Romero, Espanyol through Javi Puado’s confirmed absence and possible loss of Ngonge. In a tight table situation, reduced firepower and rotation options could be significant as both teams look to improve on their modest goals-for records (Sevilla 41, Espanyol 37) heading into this fixture.
