Sevilla get their Copa del Rey campaign underway when they take on amateur side Velarde CF at the Estadio Municipal de La Maruca on Sunday.
The La Liga side head into the weekend winless in their last four matches and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Velarde kicked off their Copa del Rey campaign on October 19, when they claimed a 1-0 victory over Turegano CF on home turf.
They are currently unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions, claiming two wins and one draw since May.
Velarde head into the weekend on a run of three consecutive home victories, scoring four goals and keeping three clean sheets in that time.
Elsewhere, Sevilla failed to arrest their slump in form as they suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Real Sociedad last time out.
Jorge Sampaoli’s side are now winless in four straight matches across all competitions, losing three and claiming one draw in that time.
Sevilla are currently 18th in the La Liga standings after a sloppy start to the season and will head into the weekend in dire need of a pick-me-up.
