Sevilla preview: Sorry Sevilla
Matias Almeyda is perhaps doing the best job he can with the tools available to the former Monterrey boss. It has still been very poor, though, with the Argentine leading the Sevillanos to 15th place after 28 game weeks.
The Andalusians were annihilated in Barcelona last weekend, succumbing to a humbling 5-2 demolition at the hands of defending champions Barca at Camp Nou - and it should have been more.
Valencia preview: Average Valencia
Carlos Corberan is working with his hands tied firmly behind his back, given the state of Valencia's hierarchy off the pitch, but even then the frustrating underperformance is beginning to grate.
Having turned a corner in recent weeks, Los Che became just the fourth victim of rock-bottom Real Oviedo, suffering a slender but flattering 1-0 defeat to the Asturians at Estadio Carlos Tartiere last weekend.
