Sevilla v Juventus

Sevilla vs Juventus Preview

The advantage in this Europa League semi-final has seemingly swung in Sevilla's favour following last week's 1-1 draw away at Juventus in the 1st leg of this encounter, and Sevilla will now be keen to press home their advantage in this deciding leg.

Recent results certainly place Sevilla in a strong position ahead of this 2nd leg as the Spanish hosts have lost just once in their last 11 matches in all competitions which came in the form of a 2-0 loss at home to Girona, but otherwise, seven wins and three draws suggest Sevilla will be a tough nut to crack at their Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán

Sevilla have made themselves a tough unit to beat on home soil and results seem to underline this as they have lost just twice in their previous 15 matches overall, picking up 11 wins in the process, while goals have also featured with 10 of Sevilla's last 15 home games resulting in Over 2.5 goals scored in total.

Juventus have also benefitted from a recent upturn in form and results as the Old Lady extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to five games on the weekend when they registered a solid 2-0 home win against Cremonese which followed previous domestic wins against Lecce and Atalanta in Serie A.

The Italian visitors will therefore be keen to build upon this encouraging spell of form on Thursday night at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán as Juventus will be seeking to capture a fourth win in six matches overall.

However, before we get too carried away, it should be noted that Juventus had previously struggled to pick up positive results as the visitors had managed to capture just one win in their preceding eight games overall, which also included four defeats as well.

Results on the road also suggest Juventus may find it difficult to get the better of their hosts, Sevilla, after Massimiliano Allegri's side have recorded just one win from their last six outings on the road in all competitions but they did inflict an impressive 2-0 win away at Atalanta last time on travels, and this may give Juventus a welcome boost for this return leg.

Sevilla v Juventus Verdict

This 2nd leg is nicely poised at 1-1 and both Sevilla and Juventus will fancy their chances of making it into the final of the Europa League when they face off on Thursday night, but goals may be the best option here as Sevilla and Juventus pose serious threats in front goal and both will be up for this clash.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 2.10

Other side bets worth considering:

Sevilla win @ 2.40

Correct score: Sevilla 2-1 @ 10.00
