An entertaining encounter in fruition in Seville

High flying Real Soceidad travel to La Bombonera de Nervion where their impressive early season form will be tested by former Real Madrid and Spain head coach, Julen Lopetegui’s Sevilla. The White and Reds have started the season inconsistently and currently reside five places behind Sunday’s visitors in seventh. Sevilla won the last meeting 5-2 on home soil however all their goalscorers that day have since left the club for Ligue 1 adventures leaving a slightly new look Europa League outfit this season.

New look Sevilla

It was a summer of mass change in Seville and any transfer market criticism was initially silenced as the White and Reds won three of their opening four matches to nil, however they come into this encounter on back to back defeats at the hands of Real Madrid and Eibar meaning they need a win to get back into the top six. The attacking contingent was ripped apart this summer as Wissam Ben Yedder, Pablo Sarabia, Quincy Promes and Luis Muriel were all shown the exit door, reinforcements came in due course though with less proven ability. The potential brought in is in the form of Rony Lopes; Luuk de Jong, Oliver Torres, Javier Hernandez, Lucas Ocampos and Munas Dabbur. Leaving a lot of questions to be answered with little time to adapt together their start has been reasonable, typically starting in a 4-3-3 formation.

Real Soceidad

Second-placed Real come into this one off the back of three straight comfortable wins, dispatching Alaves, Espanyol and Atletico Madrid all by a margin of two or more goals. Mikel Oyarzabal starred in their last meeting with a brace in the 3-0 drubbing of Alaves with all goals coming in the first half. Still only 22 years old the winger has remarkable experience with 41 goals in 157 appearances for the Whites and Blues. The emergence of Martin Odegaard has been clear to see so far this season, arguably enjoying the best run of his career. The Norwegian has played every single minute of the league campaign, contributing two goals and an assist, following a turbulent youth under the spotlight at Real Madrid it feels like he has found a club where his future could lie with Soceidad. Just 20 years of age the Whites and Blues have the option to buy Odegaard on a permanent transfer for £18million at the end of this season.

Two sides in fine goalscoring form will meet for a entertaining counter maybe reminiscent of the seven goals at La Bombonera de Nervion last term.
