Three days before the 8th return of the Champions League against PSG, Real Sociedad challenges Sevilla.
The Basque club hopes to bounce back after its failure in the Copa del Rey semi-final against Mallorca.
More generally, the San Sebastián club is having a difficult start to the year.
Two victories in the last seven La Liga matches, an elimination in the National Cup and a defeat in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League (0-2) against PSG.
This bad patch pushed the club coached by Imanol Alguacil back to seventh place in the championship, 12 points behind the Champions League.
The Basques will therefore be looking for confidence on the pitch at the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium on the eve of a decisive match in the European Cup.
Facing them, it is the Seville club which presents itself.
The team led by former Parisians Sergio Ramos and Tanguy Kouassi is having a difficult season.
Eliminated from all European competitions in December after the defeat against RC Lens (1-2), the Rojiblancos also fell by the wayside in the Copa del Rey against Atlético Madrid (0-1).
In La Liga, the Andalusian team also struggled.
Flirting with the red zone during the first part of the season, Sevilla managed to take a six-point lead over the first relegated Cádiz thanks to a good month of February.
Even if the Sevillians lost against Real Madrid last week (0-1), the latest results are positive as evidenced by the victory against Atlético Madrid (1-0).
Sevilla-Real Sociedad kicks off on Saturday March 2 at 2:15 p.m. on beIN Sports 3.
