Espanyol - Sevilla 1: 1
Fourth draw in five rounds for the Andalusians, who are losing height in the pursuit of Real Madrid.
Sevilla have not lost to Espanyol since January 2017 and have already led from a goal by Rafa Mir in the 36th minute after a wonderful preparation work by Papo Gomes on the left side, but Sergei Dader slammed the equalizer in the 50th minute after Oscar Hail's level and set up another draw for Espanyol, like In a derby against Barcelona in which he also found the net.
The host was able to avoid a sixth league game without a win, but did not take advantage of the numerical advantage in the last 14 minutes, after Jules Conde received a second red this season (previous against Barcelona) when in his first four seasons in the seniors (Bordeaux and Sevilla) he did not see a single red In a league game.
Sevilla at least got back 36-year-old Jose Navas, who is a partner as a replacement after an injury that sidelined him for three-and-a-half months.

Betis - Mallorca (19:30)
Since the 2: 0 home loss to Villarreal, Betis has achieved an advance in the Cup semi-final with 1: 2 at Rayo, returned to win in the league as well and recorded 2: 3 in Russia against Zenit in the Europa League.
Now Nabil Fakir is back and maybe so is Sergio Canales, and the Greens hope to continue to establish themselves in third place.
Mallorca comes after two wins that put it six points away from the red line, but has lost the last three away games.
