The Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán needs to feel the euphoria of victory it is so used to this afternoon after a convincing win against Athletic Bilbao. With 1,003 La Liga wins in total (two-thirds of them coming at home), today isn't just about refinding winning ways in La Liga but showing that Nervión is still the fortress it has always been. With just one win in the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán in 2018 - one which saw Sergio Rico star as the difference maker throughout - Sevilla now need to forget the two losses and one unexpected draw; it's time to show that when you travel to Seville, you're lucky to escape with anything at all.
The Nervionenses need to make the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán the fortress it has been for so long
The 74th Sevilla FC vs Athletic Club fixture (in our city) has been - as in the past - one of the footballing dates to look forward to in the La Liga Santander season and, as is customary, will demand a fine Sevillista performance not just on the pitch but from the stands as well. Generally speaking, the Basques have not enjoyed their travels to the Andalusian capital - with 44 losses, 10 wins and 19 draws in 73 league games.
