Espanyol are flying high after a first-leg success, but Tobias Gourlay expects Sevilla to come roaring back tonight
Sevilla v Espanyol
Thursday 21:00
1-0 early in the second half and Sporting da Covilha had Santa Clara right where we wanted them.
And then they let them go. 1-1 and we've made a dash straight for the border.
It's Copa del Rey quarter-final second-leg night tonight and Sevilla have got a job on their hands.
They're 3-1 down to Espanyol but, back on home turf tonight, look like they're up to the task of winning by a couple of goals or more.
Espanyol have lost 5/6 away games in La Liga. They've played all of the top four on the road this season and delivered four big defeats: 0-3, 1-5, 0-2 and 1-3.
Sevilla have won two previous Copa home games this season 5-1 and 4-0. In La Liga they've won 7/9 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, conceding a total of only four goals.
Unai Emery's men been ahead at the break in five of those seven wins. Get themselves into a similar position tonight and they will have a solid platform from which to launch the final assault.
