The Pirates (6-13-14) are fighting to avoid relegation as they are one point above the drop zone with five contests remaining.

Why you should back Sevilla
Los Nervionenses are led offensively by Rafa Mir, who has scored nine league goals in his first season with the club after signing a six-year contract last August. The 24-year-old forward netted what proved to be the decisive tally in a 4-2 victory over Granada on April 8. Sevilla is coming off a 3-2 triumph against Levante on April 21 in which Mexican winger Jesus Corona recorded his first two goals of the season.
The 29-year-old Corona, who joined Sevilla in January after playing for Porto in Portugal's Primeira Liga, is tied for second on the club with four assists in only 13 matches. He shares the spot with Argentinian forward Lucas Ocampos, who also is the team's second-leading goal scorer with six. The 27-year-old Ocampos netted the lone tally in Sevilla's victory at Cadiz earlier this season.
Why you should back Cadiz
The Pirates notched a pair of goals in their last contest after being held under that total in each of their previous five matches. Lucas Perez has begun to heat up for Cadiz after enduring a lengthy drought. The 33-year-old forward started the season with Elche and scored in each of his first two contests but went 16 games without a tally before joining Cadiz at the end of January.
Perez's struggles continued as he was held without a goal in his first eight matches with the Pirates, but he has converted in each of his last two outings. Forward Alvaro Negredo leads Cadiz with six tallies and notched his second assist of the season in last week's setback against Athletic Club. Anthony Lozano, a 29-year-old forward from Honduras, ranks second on the club with five goals and a pair of assists.
