Match context
Sevilla host Espanyol at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on 9 May 2026 in La Liga, Regular Season - 35. Sevilla sit 17th on 37 points, while Espanyol are 13th with 39 points.

Sevilla availability

Sevilla have several concerns ahead of kickoff. Marcão (Wrist Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced option from the back line. In midfield, M. Bueno (Knee Injury) is doubtful, while I. Romero (Injury) is also doubtful for the attacking unit. With no suspension issues listed, the main questions for Sevilla revolve around late fitness tests for their two doubtful players.

Espanyol availability

Espanyol also travel with notable absentees. J. Puado (Knee Injury) is sidelined, depriving the visitors of a versatile forward option. In addition, C. Ngonge (Knee Injury) is doubtful and will need to prove his fitness close to kickoff. There are no suspensions reported for the Catalan side.

Impact summary

With league-wide top scorers data unavailable, the attacking impact is measured at team level: Sevilla have scored 41 league goals, Espanyol 37. Both teams lose depth and flexibility in forward areas through the absences of Marcão defensively for Sevilla and J. Puado for Espanyol, while the doubtful status of M. Bueno, I. Romero and C. Ngonge could further limit rotation and in-game tactical options if they fail to make the squad.
