Sevilla vs CFR Cluj Prediction & Betting tips
The illustrious Sanchez Pizjuan is the scene of the return in the sixteenth finals of the Europa League between Seville and CFR Cluj on Thursday evening. The Spaniards have the best papers thanks to last week’s 1-1 draw, but visitors from Romania are not giving up the fight.
Seville:
Seville visited CFR Cluj last week for a long time, but thanks to the late equalizer of substitute Youssef En-Nesyri, it still has the best papers for reaching the eighth finals of the Europa League. However, the Spaniards cannot count themselves rich with the 1-1 draw from the first leg.
The atmosphere in Seville in the run-up to the decisive return is certainly great. Not so long ago, trainer Julen Lopetegui seemed to be on the kicking chair, but last weekend’s 0-3 win over Ajax tormentor Getafe has given the red and white wings. So now it is mainly a question of maintaining that good feeling and taking it to the next Thursday evening, although LaLiga still has priority. It is therefore expected that Lopetegui will kick off a combination of reserves and basic players in the return against CFR Cluj, just like in its previous European matches.
CFR Cluj:
CFR Cluj does not have the same European track record as Seville, which we can certainly consider to be the most successful Europa League team in the last decade. Nevertheless, we should definitely not underestimate the Romanians, because in the group stage of the Europa League they managed to grab no less than twelve points in a tough group with Celtic, Lazio and Rennes. “So you are really into football,” Hans Kraay jr. Would say.
CFR Cluj is also in charge in its own country and is therefore busy. Trainer Dan Petrescu has some great players with Ciprian Deac and Lacina Traore, but according to FCSB chairman Gigi Becali that is not the main reason for the current success. “My players have sex far too often,” said the striking president of the arch rival. ‘Take a look at CFR Cluj. The Petrescu players only dive into the suitcase with their wives once a week, and are therefore much fitter. ” I really have no idea how Becali gets this spicy information, but the moral of the story is that the Romanians will once again be well rested at the Sanchez Pizjuan.
