Sevilla have had a terrible season so far, and not least of their problems has been injuries. Marcos Acuña has returned after injury, which gives them a fresh dimension to their defense. Yet, they will still be missing on the likes of Gonzalo Montiel and Tanguy Nianzou who are ruled out with the injury.
Another problem here is the body shape taken by Youssef En-Nesyri. A good goal-scoring machine, the Moroccan forward has, however been careless in front of the goal.
