Sevilla vs Juventus 18.05.2023 Prediction: UEFA Europa League
Match Overview
Sevilla, who have a very good record in the Europa League, will face off against Italian giants Juventus, who have had a decent season themselves. With the first leg of the game being drawn 1-1, we will have a definite winner after this leg for sure. Sevilla will back themselves as they will be playing in familiar conditions and in front of a home crowd.
Key Highlights
Juventus' manager Massimiliano Allegri's reputation will take a huge beating if he does not manage to get a positive result by the end of the evening here. Sevilla will be looking to play upon the ego of the Italian manager. However, out of the five games recorded between the two teams in the past, Sevilla have only won one and drawn two. The other two matches were won by Juventus.
Injury Report
Both these teams have quite a few of their players ruled out. While Suso, Tanguy Nianzou, Marcao and Joan Jordan continue to be long-term absentees for Sevilla, Juventus will have the likes of Paul Pogba, Mattia de Sciglio, Leonardo Bonucci and Kaio Jorge on the bench owing to injury. Matias Soule has been suspended. Pogba and Bonucci's injuries will hurt the Old Lady a lot.
Prediction
Juventus will be boosted by the fact that they have been unbeaten in the last five matches that they have played. Sevilla, meanwhile, have won only three out of the last five matches that they have played in. This means that we are bound to have a very close encounter on our hands here. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this match.
