Sevilla are back in action with another important La Liga fixture this weekend as they lock horns with Levante on Sunday. Sevilla have been impressive this season and will want to win this game.

Levante are in 18th place in the La Liga standings and have struggled to make their mark this season. The Valencia-based outfit played out a 0-0 stalemate with Getafe last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Sevilla, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive this year. The Andalusians edged Celta Vigo to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will want a similar result in this fixture.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
