Sevilla vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
The first leg was played in six UEFA Europa League round of 16 games in March, with the games now featuring a second leg with exchanged home rights. The other two quarter-finalists are only determined in a knockout duel in a neutral place. One of these two knockout duels is the match between Sevilla and AS Roma, which will take place in the Duisburger Schauinsland-Reisen Arena.
This game is undoubtedly one of the top games in this year’s round of 16, as this game could also be a knockout duel in the UEFA Champions League. In addition, both teams have been in dazzling shape since the restart and accordingly there is nothing standing in the way of a football festival in the stadium of the third division team from Duisburg.
Our tip category Europa League will keep our readers up to date with information about all remaining knockout games over the next few days.
Seville:
Once again, the three-time Europa League winner knew how to convince in his favorite competition this season. With five victories from the first five group matches, both progress and group victory were fixed at an early stage. The defeat at the end against APOEL Nicosia was only of statistical value. No other EL team was able to beat the 15 points from Sevilla in the group stage.
The Andalusians were again among the big favorites for many experts after their sovereign performances. However, the Loptegui team was only able to underline this role in the first knockout duel with the Romanian underdog CFR Cluj. After a 1-1 draw in Romania, Sevilla had to tremble until the final minutes in the second leg. Despite 72% possession of the ball, the opening goal did not succeed. The goalless draw was ultimately enough to advance due to the away goals rule.
Due to the two draws, Sevilla has been without a win for three international games and still has to wait for two top brands. 121 EL goals are on the plus side, only Villarreal and Salzburg (124) have more, and so far 38 wins have been achieved, which are only surpassed by Salzburg (39).
Nevertheless, the team of ex-national coach Julen Lopetegui has been in top shape for months. For the last competitive game defeat, you have to scroll far back. On February 9, Celta Vigo suffered a close 1: 2. Since this bankruptcy, the Andalusians have been unbeaten in 17 competitive games (eight wins, nine draws).
The defensive was particularly convincing in the season finish, as Sevilla conceded only one goal in the last six league games. In this respect, the odds between Seville and Rome that both teams do not score can be described as a value bet.
Thanks to these strong performances, Sevilla achieved an outstanding third place in the table of the Spanish LaLiga. Thanks to the direct comparison with Atletico Madrid, the Rojiblancos were displaced to fourth place.
AS Rome:
After five years in the premier class, the Giallorossi had to bake smaller rolls again this season and be satisfied with the Europa League. The appearances of the Romans in the group phase were not really convincing. Paulo Fonseca’s team trembled into the next round in the Gladbach group with just two wins over the new Turkish champions Basaksehir. Among other things, the Roma received a 1: 2 loss in Gladbach.
This once again confirmed that German soil does not suit the Romans. In its long history, the Roma have made 13 guest appearances in Germany and were only able to celebrate two wins. The bankruptcy at Gladbach on the fourth group match day was the tenth defeat for the Romans on German underground.
While statistics in Germany are definitely not encouraging, the Fonseca team has had great hope from their achievements since the restart. Due to the large backlog, the Champions League chance was no longer available at the beginning, but the Romans still presented themselves in excellent shape.
In the season finale, the Romans hurried from victory to victory and were able to collect no less than 22 out of a possible 24 points in the last eight Serie A games. Only against runner-up Inter Milan there was a point loss in the 2-2 draw. The switch to a 3-4-2-1 system has obviously paid off.
