Estadio Ramon will play host to a gigantic match in Spain’s top flight on Tuesday evening, as 16th-placed Sevilla host 19th-placed Las Palmas.
Sevilla are only four points outside of the relegation zone in the La Liga table with three games left, while Las Palmas sit three points behind 17th-placed Alaves, so both teams will be fired-up to collect all three points on Tuesday night.
Sevilla finished 14th in La Liga last season, which proved to be their worst final spot in Spain’s top flight since being relegated back in 2000, but there is a strong chance they will be even lower come the end of this campaign.
Indeed, a disastrous season has seen Los Nervionenses pick up just 38 points from 35 matches, which has left them only four points clear of 18th-placed Leganes with three games left, so relegation is still a major threat at this stage of proceedings. Sevilla will face Real Madrid and Villarreal in their final two league games of the season, so a defeat against Las Palmas would leave them in an incredibly vulnerable position in the table heading into the final straight.
Both managers will be wary of what a defeat would equal in this match, which means that a cagey affair could be on the cards; it is difficult to back either with any real confidence considering their form, so we have had to settle on a share of the spoils.
