The 2019 Europa league Champions are currently on par with Chelsea in the Champions League standings. Both the teams will aim to claim the number one spot at the end of the group stage. While travel and a cramped fixture list can create trouble for the Spanish side, the quality and depth of Julen Lopetegui’s team and Krasnodar’s poor defensive record might just see help Sevilla win the game with ease. Our prediction is a 2-0 win for Sevilla.
