How to watch Sevilla vs Juventus online & on TV, head to head and predictions

Juventus travel to Andalusia on Thursday night to face Sevilla in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final tie at Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.

After a torrid start to the season, Sevilla are finally on the up under their third head coach of the campaign in José Luis Mendilibar. They are on a run of just one defeat in their last 11 across all competitions and enter this one as favourites. The Europa League is also the competition in which they thrive, having won the competition a record number of six times - three more than any other club.

Currently sitting in mid-table, Palanganas are still working on their domestic form after winning just two of their opening 15 games in La Liga. Nevertheless, their resurgence has seen them pick up five victories out of their last six games in the league and they are still fighting for European qualification.

However, that may most likely be in the form of winning the competition here but they must get the better of Juve first. A 1-1 draw in Turin, following a dramatically late equaliser in injury time from Federico Gatti, means all is still left to play for as we head into the return leg.

There is still controversy surrounding Juventus and despite previously seeing the return of their 15 points, they still could potentially suffer yet another points deduction for this season. Uncertainty remains for the Juventini.

Massimiliano Allegri has been facing criticism for some time now due to Juve’s negative football. However, they head into this one undefeated in their last five across all competitions and are still looking good value for a spot in the top-four in Serie A, barring any further points deductions. Still, their away form has been dire in recent times and they have picked up just one victory in their last six on their travels. 

Juventus and Sevilla met in the 2016 Europa League group stage and the Bianconeri ran out 3-1 winners in their game in Seville. That result would see them into the final of the tournament this time around and would follow a similar pattern after the two sides drew 0-0 in the reverse fixture that same year. Sevilla have beaten Juve just once in their history - a 1-0 win in the Champions League back in 2015.

Youssef En Nesyri has seen an upturn in his goalscoring form of late for the hosts and also got on the scoresheet in the first leg. He now has eight league goals to his name this term too, bettering last season’s tally of just five.

Filip Kostic’s creativity will be key for the visitors, having recorded eight assists in Serie A thus far. Juve have thrived best when he has been utilised down the left-flank and could help provide chances for the likes of Dusan Vlahovic up top.

Paul Pogba has had an awful time with injuries over the past few seasons and picked up yet another injury in his return at the weekend - he will be out for the rest of the campaign. Leonardo Bonucci, Mattia De Sciglio, Mohammed Ihattaren, Matias Soule and Kaio Jorge are all unavailable. 

Tanguy Nianzou remains a doubt for Sevilla since he has been missing for the past five games due to injury. Suso is also unlikely to feature due to a muscle injury, alongside Joan Jordan and Marcao. Pape Gueye and Jesus Corona haven’t been registered so will be unable to play. 

Expert Insight: We could see plenty of cards in this one after the referee brandished a total of seven cards in the first leg. Sevilla's record in the competition puts them in pole position to go on and reach their final, especially with home advantage. Juventus' poor away form of late doesn't look good either and so we are expecting the hosts to progress.
