Sevilla have recovered slightly from a slump in league form lately, with consecutive wins at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan setting up Jorge Sampaoli’s men well for the business end of the La Liga season.
Deportivo and Granada have recently lost in Seville, with those two struggling teams the perfect tonic to the low confidence that Los Nervionenses have been suffering from lately.
Sampaoli’s men have kept back-to-back clean sheets in La Liga, even drawing away to a previously in-form Valencia, but there is still plenty of uncertainty surrounding their coach’s future.
Celta, meanwhile, have played a second-string side in their last two league games due to focusing much more on their Europa League chances. Eduardo Berizzo isn’t as concerned about the league.
Ganso may well make consecutive starts for the hosts, after scoring twice against Granada, with Sevilla not having any fresh injury concerns aside from Sergio Escudero’s hamstring.
Celta Vigo aren’t the best travellers at the best of times, with their focus on Europa League glory bound to detract from putting in a notable performance on the road midweek.
