The UEFA Europa League returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Sevilla lock horns with Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus side in an important semi-final clash at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Thursday.
Sevilla vs Juventus Preview
Juventus are currently in second place in the Serie A standings and have been impressive so far this season. The Bianconeri eased past Cremonense by a 2-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Sevilla, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the La Liga table at the moment and have improved after a poor start to their season. The Andalusian outfit defeated Real Valladolid by a comprehensive 3-0 scoreline over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Sevilla vs Juventus Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Juventus have an impressive record against Sevilla and have won two out of the five European games played between the two teams, as opposed to Sevilla's one victory.
- Sevilla could become only the second team to eliminate Juventus from the semi-finals of a European competition since the turn of the century, with Benfica achieving the feat in 2014.
- Juventus have won only two of their last 17 games away from home against Spanish opponents in the knock-out stages of European competitions and have kept clean sheets in only one of these games.
- Sevilla are unbeaten in their nine knock-out games in the UEFA Europa League when they have played the second leg at home.
- Juventus could qualify for their first European final in six years - they last achieved the feat under Massimiliano Allegri in the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League.
- Sevilla have reached four finals in the UEFA Europa League over the past decade - more than any other team has managed during this period.
Sevilla vs Juventus Prediction
Juventus have experienced a strong resurgence under Massimiliano Allegri this season and will be intent on winning a trophy in the coming weeks. The Bianconeri have a robust squad at their disposal and have a point to prove on Thursday.
