Thanks for the submission!
Palanganas returned to winning ways after three games in the league earlier this month, with a 1-0 home triumph over Osasuna. Rubén Vargas scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot in the 51st minute.

Espanyol vs Sevilla Prediction
Periquitos have lost their last two league games, conceding two goals apiece in both, and will look to bounce back here. Their last win in this fixture was registered at home in 2017.
Captain Javi Puado is the only absentee for the home team.
Los Hispalenses kept their first clean sheet in five games in their previous outing and will look to build on that form. They have lost their last two away games, conceding five goals. Nonetheless, they have won five of their last six La Liga away meetings against the hosts while keeping four clean sheets.
José Ángel Carmona will serve a suspension here, while Fabio Cardoso, César Azpilicueta, and Tanguy Nianzou are sidelined with injuries.
Periquitos have won just one of their last four home games, and considering the visitors’ recent record in this fixture, we back Palanganas to eke out a narrow win.
