Preview: Juventus vs. Sevilla- Prediction and team news

Sevilla is the team that has won the Europa League trophy the most times in the period it has been called the Europa League. They have won it 4 times, with their most recent victory coming in the 19/20 season, and now they have the opportunity to secure their 5th trophy. The first step on their journey is to defeat the Italian giants Juventus, who also have a fantastic European history. However, it has been many years since Juventus last won a European tournament (Champions League 1995/96), so it's a highly motivated Italian team that will face Sevilla tonight.

Sevilla has had a very difficult season, and it is only a good recent period that gives them a glimpse of the 7th place in La Liga and a spot in the Conference League. They are currently in 11th place, which is not acceptable for Sevilla, and they have experienced a truly turbulent season with coach dismissals and poor performances. Juventus has also not had the season they had hoped for, but they have regained the 15 points that were deducted earlier in the season, putting them in 2nd place in Serie A, so it seems likely that they will be playing in the Champions League next season.

Team news:
Mattia De Sciglio and Bremer are both without injuries and thus not ready for tonight's match. Pogba and Chiesa are both back from long-term injuries, which is a huge boost for the Torino club, but they are not fit to play for 90 minutes, so it is expected that they will both start on the bench.

Juventus expected line-up: 
Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci, Sandro; Cuadrado, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Di Maria; Vlahovic

Sevilla have had several injuries recently, but can take comfort in the fact that Ocampos, Fernando and Lamela have all three been reported ready to play. However, Tanguy Nianzou and Suso have not recovered from their injuries and are therefore not on the plane to Torino.

Sevilla’s expected line-up:
Bounou; Navas, Bade, Gudelj, Acuna; Gueye, Rakitic; Ocampos, Torres, Gil; En-Nesyri

Player profiles:
Dusan Vlahovic has found his form for Juventus and has scored in the last two matches. He is a fantastic striker and crucial for Juventus, so we believe he is the man to score goals in tonight's match. Rakitic could be important for Sevilla due to his experience and qualities on the ball in tonight's game.

Prediction: 
This could turn into a tactical affair with few goals, as both teams are currently solid defensively. However, Juventus being at home and aiming for victory, we also believe they have the quality to secure a narrow win. 

Therefore, we predict that Juventus will win with under 2.5 goals in the match.
