Espanyol have not won any of their last 10 games against Sevilla in LaLiga (D3 L7), and have never gone 11 in a row without beating the Nervión side in the competition (also 10 between 2011 and 2015 - D3 L7).
After two straight away defeats in 2016 and 2017, Sevilla have taken points in each of their last five LaLiga away games against Espanyol (W4 D1), equalling their longest unbeaten away run against Los Periquitos in the top-flight (also five between 2011 and 2014 - W3 D2).
Espanyol have not won any of their last five games played on a Friday in LaLiga (D2 L3), while Sevilla have not won any of their last 11 on that day in the competition (D5 L6).
Espanyol have lost four of their last five games in LaLiga (W1), twice as many defeats as in their previous nine games in the competition (W3 D4 L2).
Sevilla are winless away from home in LaLiga in their last eight games (D4 L4), and could equal their worst winless run away from home in the competition in the last five years (nine games between May and December 2023, D4 L5).
