Sevilla: current form, latest results, statistics
Sevilla has begun early this edition of the Europa League since the 2nd round. It was easy to play by Ujpesti, Zalghiris and Sigma Olomouc, another Czech team, and then won the group in which he played alongside Standard Liege, Krasnodar and Akhisar . In the 16th I passed Lazio Rome.
It was a real force at home, where he won all 7 games played. In 6 of these, it has not even received a goal. The defense partnership between Simon Kjaer, Sergi Gomez and Gabriel Mercado has proved very effective.
In La Liga there is a weaker period that led to the loss of a place between the top 4, position which ensures presence in the Champions League next season. With only one point in the last 5 stages he went down to the 6th place. It is worth noting that he had a similar period during the first part of the season, and the turning point came with the first meeting in the Europa League with Standard Liege, won with 5-1. It is the competition from where it takes its sava, in which it feels the best.
Wissam Ben Yedder, 6 goals scored, is the team’s top scorer in this competition. Franco Vazquez is suspended after the red card received in the return match with Lazio. Ever Banega will return to the team after a suspension. Roque Mesa and Quincy Promes are just a yellow card away from an absence in the next match.

He returned to Europe in 2016 and grew each year since then by one step each year. In 2016 he was eliminated in the play-off, in 2017 he qualified in the group, but failed only two victories, both with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
This season it started in the Champions League playoff, where it was eliminated by Dynamo Kiev (1-1 and 0-2). He went to the Europa League groups where he took second place in a fairly balanced company (Bordeaux, Copenhagen and Zenit). In the 16th he managed to eliminate Genk by winning 4-1 away, after at home he finished the draw, 0-0.
Until the meeting with the Belgians they scored only 4 goals in 7 matches. Perhaps that’s why the best designers, Milan Skoda and Jaromir Zmrhal, have a fairly small number of scored goals. Vladimir Coufal, Ondrej Kudela, Jan Boril, Ibrahim-Benjani Traore and Milan Skoda are only at a “yellow” suspension.
