I think this will be a harder game than the 1st round match against Madrid.

[peterke2000]

verry hard game but i hope we just don,t lose they have beaten us 4 times last season wich is to muche i just hope kanoute don't play as he scored 4 times i think if we win we jump ore ty whit them and it woud be again a boost for our players but its gone be hard

[hari]

we'll put up a nice fight at least, i hope.. i do believe that if play to our potential we can win this one.. i hope Juca and Adrian will be back.. Valeron shud start this match IMO.. also, Adrian in the place of Pablo Alvarez and Riki/Lassad upfront..

I think this game could be decided by the battle on the wings. Sevilla play with alot of width but if we can assert ourselves and use our wide players in an attacking role, then their wide players will be more defensive than attacking, which should negate the threat.
Four of Perotti, Navas, Capel, Adriano, Konko and Navarro will probably play at the side and although they pose a serious threat coming forward, there's not alot there defensively that looks outstanding and I'm sure Filipe and Guardado in particular would fancy theirselves down our left hand side. (They could probably be saying the same thing about our left though I guess)

[Rack]

Our right, even? But I get your point and agree fully. Aand more than the wings being the crucial factor, it is the pace at which Sevilla get the ball to the wings that is the big danger. Stopping that supply at source, whether it is from their full backs or central midfielders, will get us a result imo. Sevilla are not overly strong at playing directly through the middle. Stop the attackes from the side and we have a fighting chance.

Match scheduled for next Saturday at 18h00 (European central time)

[Dutchfan]

also, Adrian in the place of Pablo Alvarez and Riki/Lassad upfront...

I was thinking the same thing. And Riki and Adrian could switch sometime, during the game. You couldn't play with to pivots then though...Is Guardado plays to..

[Elgreco]

well,the Andalucians are a tough rival for us the last 6 years..They have the same quality as they had the last campaing,while having players like fabiano,kanoute and Navas means that at their good day could smash even the "giants",just like the did against Madrid.
But i think that Depor has chances not because we playing at home,-i would saying that this factor could be a disadvantage,as the home team have always to attack,creating open spaces,that means...certain death at Sevilla case-but because we are living a great start,having players in a good form,like Juca,Rodriguez,Colotto,Guardado and Riki.Certainly we have the quality necesary to win them,as long as we don't overestimate them.
Personnaly,i am expecting a tough game,with many fights at the centre and with not too many chances,with players like Filipe,Guardado or Valeron giving "something more" to win.

[hari]

one gud news, Luis Fabiano most probably wont play the match..

[scoop]

low expectations but praying for a win! it would do us sooo much in confidence if we win and pass them in the table at the same time

[D.TRISTAN]

Deportivo: Sevilla's defender Fernando Navarro talking to reporters, "If Deportivo defeat us, then they will become the alternative in la liga."

I think if we succeed to stop Navas, i am sure we will be able to get a good result. I believe in "Filipe - Guardado"

So let's beat them and keep the 4th.

[depooor]

sevilla with their substitutes are still dangerous and threatening

Our forwards must be very active to take the lead early in the game and to bonse back when they score against us

[Carril]

L Fabiano didn't play with Brazil on Sunday. I wonder if he is still written off for this weekend's game..

[deporiginal]

I hope we trash those Sevilla bastards I used to like that club but their style of play and arrogance is starting to piss me off. Saying that there's nothing Depor will be able to do if Sevilla plays their best is just downright annoying. They always start the campaign saying they'll play for the title, but they always start screwing up pretty early into the season. I wonder how long it's gonna take for them to start throwing away points again. They may have won 2 Uefa Cups, they're still a loooong way from winning the title in Spain.

sometimes I feel like they attempt to do their best especially against depor while they lose against rivals lower than us ...

If we manage to block their wings and side backs ..... the game will be ours
