Despite the fact that the match played against Cádiz last Saturday was the first of the second round, Sevilla reached the halfway point of the championship since they still have a pending match, against Elche, for having started the season later. AND the comparison with last season shows that Lopetegui has improved his team's numbers one year later.
Sevilla currently occupies fourth place in the standings, with 36 points derived from the eleven wins, three draws and five losses that accumulates. This means that Nervión's men are one point better than last year's team, which was also fourth in the middle of the championship after closing the first round with a 1-1 goal against Athletic at Sánchez Pizjuán.
The comparison shows that Sevilla have also improved in the areas. Currently there are 26 goals scored by those of Nervión, two more than a year ago, while the goals conceded are 16 for the 18 of the 19/20 season. If it is already worthwhile to improve the figures of the more than remarkable past course, the growth is also demonstrated if one takes into account that Sevilla this year has the wear and tear of the Champions League, where they have easily surpassed the group stage, instead of the Europa League, where Lopetegui's men walked in the first phase.
As for students, the grades that count are those at the end of the course. But in this first evaluation, Lopetegui's Sevilla proves to be on an even better path than a year ago.
