Anthony Martial is expected to return into the side early in May while Karim Rekik is out for an unknown period, both with hamstring injuries.

Cadiz news

Cadiz will have to make do without the services of defenders Carcelen Valencia due to a muscle injury, and Varazdat Haroyan with a shoulder injury.

Florin Andone is also absent with an unknown injury, while Salvi Sanchez, Lucas Perez and Ruben Sobrino are expected to line up as the front three.

Prediction and Odds

Cadiz have at times pulled surprises against top teams in the table, and will carry the encouragement of defeating Barcelona on the road into this game.

However, we think Sevilla will create enough chances to score more than once, hence we are backing them to pick up all the three points.
