Slavia Prague and Sevilla meet in the 8th round of the UEFA Europa League final. The match will be played on Sinobo Stadium on Thursday at 20:00.
In the tour of this double, the Iberians inexplicably missed the victory. In the first half of that confrontation, Sevilla led twice in the first half, but the Czech representative managed to equalize until the end of the first 45 minutes. After the break, the hosts were attacked by the opposing goal but failed to score, the final score of that duel being 2-2.
In 2007, the Andalusians managed to score 3-0 in their trip from the Czech Republic, the game that played for the UEFA Champions League group stage.
After the draw from Sevilla, the Czech representative returned to the domestic competition, where he scored 4-0 on his own against the Ostrava team. In the championship, Slavia Prague is the leader, with six points over the second ranked Viktoria Plzen.
In the official games this season, Slavia suffered only one failure on its own field, 0-2 in the championship, in front of Jablonec.
Vladimir Coufal is suspended and will not be present on the pitch in this confrontation.
Andalusians have taken revenge for their own supporters after the Europa League draw, with a home win in front of Real Sociedad, score 5-2, where Wissam Ben Yedder has managed a hat-trick. In La Liga, Pablo Machin’s band is ranked 6th, 5 points against the last place of the Champions League, occupied in these moments by Getafe. On the way, Sevilla does not cross a very convincing form, with only one success in the last 7 games played in all competitions, in four of which they did not score.
Nolito and Sergio Escudero (injured) will not be part of the guest group, while Tomas Vaclik and Maximilian Wober are uncertain.
Probable teams:
Slavia Praga: Kolar – Frydrych, Kudela, Deli, Boril – Traore, Soucek, Kral – Stoch – Masopust, Zmrhal;
Sevilla: Soriano – Mercado, Kjaer, Gomez – Navas, Mesa, Banega, Promes – Sarabia, Yedder, Haddadi;
After the two goals scored in the tournament, the guests will be more careful on the defensive phase, but this does not mean that they will be able to prevent Slavia Praga from marking. We anticipate a new spectacular duel, with goals scored by both sides, but also on the minimum of two favorites of the favorites.
PREDICTION: Sevilla to win @ 2,05
