3505
The 2019/20 Europa League has reached the round of 16 stage and there are eight matches to look forward to on Thursday night. One of which takes place at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán as Sevilla host Roma in the first leg of their tie.
Football matches in Spain are still being played with fans inside the stadium at the time of writing so there will be a passionate crowd to cheer on Sevilla. They come into this match having picked up a point in a 2-2 draw at Atletico Madrid in La Liga on the weekend. It was a good point and keeps them in 3rd place in the league and in sight of a Champions League qualifying position for next season.
That draw means Sevilla are undefeated in their last 6 matches in all competitions. However, only two of those games have ended in victory with the wins coming at CFR Cluj in the Europa League and at home against Espanyol in La Liga.
Trends show Sevilla are undefeated in their last 7 home games in all competitions. One of those games was in the Europa League and ended in a 0-0 draw against CFR Cluj. Home form in the Europa League shows Sevilla have lost only one of their last 22 matches and they have won 11 of the last 13 on home soil. They have kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 8 home Europa League matches and will be hoping for more of the same in this game.
Top Trends
- AS Roma are undefeated in 7 of their last 8 Europa League games
- In their last 12 consecutive home matches of Europa League, there have been no losses for Sevilla FC
- AS Roma's last 4 matches were draws out of their last 7 league matches
- Sevilla FC have scored 2 or more goals in 8 of their last 10 home Europa League games
- AS Roma are having a period of 8 straight Europa League clashes in all of which they have scored 1 or more goals
Roma travel to Spain having defeated Cagliari 4-3 away from home in an exciting Serie A match on the weekend. That result sees them remain in 5th place, 3 points behind Atalanta who currently occupy the final Champions League qualifying position. However, this is going to be a testing period for Roma as they will not be playing any Serie A games in coming weeks due to the Coronavirus lockdown in Italy.
The victory on the weekend was the first time Roma have won away from home in their last 5 attempts. They were held to a 1-1 draw at Gent in the previous round of the Europa League but had already won the home leg 2-1 to progress. Roma have won only one of their last 5 away Europa League matches and have tasted defeat at Lyon and Borussia Monchengladbach.
Team news and Sevilla have just one player who may not be available as Fernando works his way back from a groin injury.
The same cannot be said for Roma who have several players unavailable for this game. Jordan Veretout is suspended while Davide Zappacosta, Javier Pastore, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Nicolò Zaniolo are injured.
Sevilla are very strong at home in the Europa League. Forebet predicts that the first leg will end in a high scoring draw.
