On May 18, Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Sevilla) will host the second leg of the 1/2 finals of the Europa League, in which Sevilla will compete with Juventus. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.

Sevilla

The team played under the rule of three different mentors this season. And only the current one, Mendilibar, started to succeed stably at the inner arena. However, the maximum that can be achieved in the Primera is the 7th position (and this is after several years when “White Andalusia” was consistently represented in the Champions League quartet). The higher mentioned conditions make the victory in the “signature” tournament, the Europa League, even more essential for the Spanish club. There, being headed by Sampaoli, it calmly beat both PSV and Fenerbahçe. The current coach has overcome Manchester United in a pretty bright manner. It did not matter even if the opponent made a lot of mistakes there – it is reasonable to mention own goals at Old Trafford and “children’s” mistakes in Spain. The battle in Turin, on the contrary, was a little unlucky – it conceded a rather optional return ball and missed the victory.

Juventus

The club could not help but be distracted by unsportsmanlike issues. There were serious talks about a forced relegation to the Serie B at the peak of the investigation, and there appeared a 15-point fine right during the championship. Still, the lawyers coped with the court hearings, levelling the penalties. That’s just at the same time when “the Old Signora” experienced a decline on the football fields. A series of failures in the Serie A, after which there was a serious threat to fall under the top 4, and the defeat in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia made by Inter prove the higher mentioned fact. To be honest, having confidently overcome Nantes and Freiburg in the Europa League, the favourite had a lot of troubles in the battle with Sporting from Lisbon. The team was lucky not to concede and score at the home arena, and then, there was a pragmatic 1-1 draw in Portugal. Speaking about the struggle with the Spanish opponent, it barely repeated the same score, having equalized the confrontation just before the final whistle.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The Italians and the Spaniards exchanged victories at the group stage of the Champions League in 2015. A year later, Juventus got 4 points in the same format.
