Sevilla vs Zalgiris Prediction & Betting tips
The Andalusian team leaves as a big favorite to win the game due to the collective and offensive potential it has, which has remained despite the arrival of a new coach. For this reason and knowing that those led by Pablo Machín have already shown a potential in the previous round of the Europa League, we believe that they have what it takes to manage the midfield, generate scoring chances and specify one of them in the first half. Remember that the Lithuanians are combative and competitive, but irregular when marking and defending against higher rivals.
Seville:
The Spanish have played some games of preparation to get the best way to the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona. Of course, before this match, recorded the following results for the Europa League: Victory 4-0 and 1-3 against Ujpest of Hungary. If we talk about friendlies, they thrashed Linares 0-6, drew 1-1 with Bournemouth, beat Real Murcia 0-2, lost 0-1 against Benfica and beat Extremadura 2-1. For this campaign, the leadership decided to sign coach Pablo Machín, who comes from a great campaign with Girona. It is expected that his football proposal will continue to strengthen with the passing of days, being ideal that the 3-4-2-1 system he uses can work in this opportunity.
Continuing with the analysis, you should know that the Andalusians have very good players for this season, highlighting the contribution of Jesus Navas, the Brazilian Arana, Franco Vásquez, Roque Mesa, Sarabia, Nolito and Ben Yedder. Other important players in the rotation are Banega, Corchia, Escudero, Mercado, Carrico and Muriel. If we analyze the squad of Sevilla for this campaign, we can conclude that coach Machín has many variants to attack and to reach the goal. It is expected that there will be twisted plays and sharp spills on the wings, not ruling out that he can counterattack.
Zalgiris:
The Lithuanians arrive at this instance after playing two previous rounds of the Europa League and winning both. First he eliminated Klaksvik from Faroe Islands, after winning 1-2 of the visit and drawing 1-1 at home. Then came the tie against Liechtenstein Vaduz, rival who beat 1-0 at home and with which he equaled 1-1 visit. If we review these results, we can conclude that the team suffered a lot to overcome these lower level opponents. Therefore, it is logical that he suffers too much against a rival of weight like Sevilla. The logic indicates that it retreats its lines from the initial whistle, trying to populate the midfield to not receive a goal in the first 20 ‘minutes of the initial stage.
Another detail to consider of Zalgiris is that the team was in rhythm of competition before playing these keys for the Europa League. These days, he has 37 points in his domestic league, placing him in the second position of the general table (11 of difference with the leader Suduva, missing 2 games postponed to dispute). Of course, it does not play for its championship since June 27 last. At the beginning of July, he thrashed the Jonava 0-5 for the eighth finals of the Lithuanian Cup.
There are no previous clashes between Spaniards and Lithuanians, this being the first match they will dispute in their history.
