Sevilla will host Almeria at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday in another round of the Spanish La Liga campaign.
The home side have endured a rather torrid campaign and now find themselves in the bottom half of the league table. They were thrashed 6-1 by Atletico Madrid in their last league outing but returned to winning ways in midweek with a 2-0 home win over Fenerbahce in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarterfinal tie.
Sevilla sit 17th in the league table with just 25 points from 24 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways in the league when they play this weekend.
Almeria have largely struggled to adapt to the demands of top-flight football despite a shock 1-0 victory over league leaders Barcelona last month. They were beaten 2-0 by Villarreal in their last game and were fortunate not to have lost by a significantly larger margin as they were repeatedly carved apart by their opponents.
