This season is so strange and terrible for Sevilla. They usually are one of biggest clubs in La Liga and often have a position in top four or top six. Just one season ago, they competed with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the trophy till very last match days.
Now they have only one point more than Espanyol at the 19th position and risk of relegation is very obvious. With players Sevilla have, they should play better and have a higher ranking. A last three matches are good for them and I hope that it will be a booster for them to come back to first half of La Liga table. I can't imagine if Sevilla will be relegated after this season. Girona have 18 points, 3 points more than Sevilla and if Sevilla win, they will rank up to the 13th position, not too bad.
Sevilla's performance this time was unexpected, because they were unable to keep up with matches in La Liga, even though last season Sevilla was a team to be reckoned with and became a competitor to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Even in the 2020-2021 season Sevilla managed to finish in the top four of the standings and became a strong club at that time.
The winners of the most Europa League titles are currently having bad luck, because they have to fight hard to get out of the relegation zone and the points obtained are quite risky at this time, the match against Girona will be an important match for Sevilla.
It would be very bad if Sevilla had to drop points again in the match against Girona.
Sevilla's form so far is too bad to be expected to play well in the next match, especially in La Liga they have lost 33 points from the last 16 matches, and Sevilla have only been able to win 3 times.
Based on the team's current form, I think Girona has a chance to secure 3 home points in matchday 17 of La Liga. Girona has been in good form recently although they have only won 2/5 of their last 5 matches in La Liga. But anyway Sevilla is not really worth to be underestimated, they are a good team to be expected to win that match.
But this week I have great faith in Sevilla. Even though their performance is so bad at the moment, dropping a lot of points in 16 matches will result in them being close to relegation, so this match will be very crucial for Sevilla to win. At least Sevilla's last three matches have been slightly better than before, this is a good opportunity to beat Girona in week 17.
Girona's win ratio in the last three matches is much worse than Sevilla. I think this is a good opportunity for Sevilla to take advantage of their condition, because securing full points is very important for Sevilla to avoid relegation.
