Sevilla suffered a big setback in the title race last time out, drawing 1-1 with Valencia having led, missing the chance to go within two points of leaders Real Madrid. Prior to that, Sevilla lost to Real Betis in the Copa del Rey following the resumption of the game a day after it had started. The original tie had to be postponed during the first half due to Joan Jordan being hit on the head by a plastic pole thrown from the crowd. Jordan was cleared fit to play earlier this week following a concussion, but he didn't play when the game did resume, and Sevilla bowed out of the Cup. Celta Vigo were also in action during the week, taking on Osasuna and coming out on top with a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Hugo Mallo and Santi Mina. Before the Osasuna clash, Celta lost back-to-back games, losing to Real Sociedad in La Liga and Atletico Baleares in the Copa del Rey. Caudet's men could do with a consistent run of results to climb the table, but they are likely to come off second best here. 1:0
