Sevilla

Sevilla has had an excellent second half of the season. The Red and Whites have not been able to do anything since José Luis Mendilibar's appointment as head coach. This is true in the domestic league, with five wins in their last six games to move up to tenth place in the table and the international arena. Returning to the Champions League is impossible, but Sevilla is on fire in their favorite competition, having reached the semi-finals. What's more, they came close to being beaten by Juventus on the road in the first leg of the semi-final but conceded in the closing stages (1:1).

Juventus

Juventus has had one of their most difficult seasons in recent years. They were eliminated from the Champions League and have been without a modest improvement in Serie A for a long time. Fortunately, the Bianconeri have moved up to second in the Italian standings. However, there is still a risk of losing points that could see them fall just outside the Champions League competitions. For this reason, winning the Europa League motivates them, as it will allow them to qualify for next year's leading European Cup. Juventus came close to losing the first leg of the semi-final, but Federico Gatti made it 1:1 in the 97th minute.

Expert Betting Tips

Sevilla is the most successful side in the history of the Europa League, having won the competition a record six times. Even this season, when things have not been great for the Red and Whites, they have reached the semi-finals. Except that Juventus are not so simple. The Turin side has made good progress recently, which means they can face significant challenges. The Black and Whites were close to defeat in their first meeting in the semi-final, but the 96th-minute defensive goal allows them to feel comfortable now as they do not need to take any chances and attack, and they are the favorites to counterattack. You can bet on the qualifying of Juventus.

Sevilla looked good in the first leg of the semi-final, creating many chances. Now they will be even more persistent in the opponent's half, as the overcrowded Ramon Sanchez Pichuan will have no other choice. The Red and Whites will undoubtedly get their chances, but Juventus will also be dangerous. This all promises an open and productive encounter, despite the high importance of the meeting. With this in mind, we would expect a total over 2.5, and we must keep an eye on Angel Di Maria's goal.
