Team News
Sevilla
Sevilla have now recorded back-to-back 3-0 wins away from home, having
only won twice on the road all season before last Thursday. Manu del Moral's return to form has been particularly timely as he has
scored twice in both wins at Racing and Granada to become the club's
top-scorer this season with nine. Álvaro Negredo was also on the scoresheet for the first time since
January on Monday night and his return has played a huge part in
Sevilla's return to winning ways. Michel will be forced into at least one change though as Fernando Navarro is suspended, so Luna should deputise at left-back.
probable lineups : Palop, Luna, Fazio, Escude, Coke, Medel, Trochowski, Reyes, Moral, Navas, Negredo. (4-2-3-1).

Mallorca
Mallorca's winning streak came to an end last weekend as they were defeated 2-0 at home by Barcelona. Joaquín Caparrós' men are, however, still comfortably sat in mid-table
and can move level on points with Sevilla with a win at the
Sánchez-Pizjuán. Pedro Bigas returns from suspension for the visitors but Caparrós is
likely to stick with the duo of Martí and Fernando Tissone in central
midfield. The Mallorca coach also has options in attack as youngster Alvaro has
started ahead of Tomer Hemed in recent weeks and Emilio Nsue is still
pushing to reclaim his place in the starting XI after some game changing
appearances as a substitute of late.
probable lineups : Aouate, Chico, Ramis, Nunes, Caceres, Marti, Tissone, Pereira, Victor, Castro, Alvaro. (4-2-3-1).

Prediction
Sevilla's return to form has seen them re-emerge in the European race
and although Champions League football may be beyond them given the
eight point gap to Malaga and Valencia, Michel's men will be confident
of catching Osasuna who are only four points ahead in sixth.
Mallorca, though, have shown in recent weeks that they can be a tough
nut to crack for the bigger sides as they came from behind to draw 2-2
at Valencia and beat Atleti 2-1 at the Iberostar.
However, with Negredo and Manu on form Sevilla's charge up the table
should continue with another three points, this time in front of their
own fans.
Sevilla 2 - 0 Mallorca
