Sevilla will host Celta Vigo at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 La Liga campaign.
The home side have endured a highly turbulent campaign but remain hopeful of a top-half league finish. They played out a 2-2 draw against last-placed Almeria in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward maximum points following a quickfire double from Dodi Lukebakio and Lucas Ocampos before their opponents leveled the scores in additional time.
Sevilla sit 14th in the league table with 28 points from 28 games. They are four points above their weekend opponents in 17th place and will be looking to widen that gap on Sunday.
Celta Vigo have endured a difficult campaign so far, prompting the dismissal of head coach Rafa Benitez as they look to avoid the drop. They were thrashed 4-0 by league leaders Real Madrid in their last match and were perhaps fortunate not to have lost by an even larger margin as they were repeatedly carved apart by their opponents.
