Match preview
With these two starting the weekend 17th and 18th, this is a simply huge game.
Sevilla have finished fourth in each of the last three seasons, but now find themselves embroiled in a relegation battle.
Last Sunday, los Nervionenses suffered their biggest La Liga defeat since 1991, smashed 6-1 by Atlético Madrid in the capital.
Jorge Sampaoli’s side had climbed up the table by starting 2023 with four successive home wins, but back-to-back goal-fest defeats have plunged them back down towards danger.
Despite their horrendous domestic form, the Europa League kings are still fighting in that competition, and will be for a bit longer.
On Thursday night, goals from Joan Jordán and then Erik Lamela saw them beat Fenerbahçe 2-0 in the first leg of their last 16 clash at Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
Almería meanwhile kick off below their hosts by virtue of goal difference alone although, bizarrely, a draw would see them jump above Sevilla, with head-to-head then kicking in.
Rubi’s team beat Barcelona a fortnight ago, but have lost their other four matches since the start of February, most recently by Vilarreal.
So, who will claim three invaluable points in Seville?
