Sevilla FC return to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán this Sunday evening for Matchday 33 in La Liga. Today, their motivation will be at an absolute high as they can mathematically seal Champions League qualification for next season with five games to go, this season's main objective. Should the Nervionenses beat Granada CF this evening they will qualify directly without having to worry about the results of Real Sociedad who play on Monday or Villarreal who play before Sevilla.

The Blanquirrojos welcome Granada to Seville with 67 points in their locker with the team in excellent form the last month and a half. In addition to winning their last four games, three of them away from home, Sevilla have 19 points from the last 21 up for games: six wins and one draw since 14 March when they beat Real Betis at home. Sevilla will also be looking for revenge against a Granada who were the first team to beat them in this 20/21 season all the way back in October.

Sevilla FC have won 19 of the last 21 available points and welcome a Granada CF who have won their last two fixtures

Diego Martínez' Granada CF travel to the Sánchez-Pizjuán sitting eighth in the league with 42 points and at least one game in hand on the other teams. They will be looking to challenge for the Europa League spots for next year after their incredible debut in the competition this season where they reached the quarter-finals. Granada have wins in their last two matches after beating Eibar at home and Real Valladolid away.

Julen Lopetegui pointed out in the pre-match press conference that 'Granada beat us well back in October - their season is no fluke.' He also said 'we are thinking about what's in front of us. That's attractive, enticing and exciting enough to be 100% focussed on it and nothing else.' This will be Sevilla's first match back in Nervión after the win against Atlético Madrid and three consecutive wins away from home.

The match will be played this Sunday 25 April at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán with kick-off at 18:30 CEST. The match will be refereed by De Burgos Bengoetxea with Mateu Lahoz on VAR duties.
