Sevilla - Lazio Prediction, Picks and Tips
As Sevilla's seventh preseason in La Liga, Sevilla FC have been in the UEFA Europa League's second qualifying round since the second qualifying round and have played 13 competitive matches in the second most important European competition for club teams in the 2018/19 season. Six matches have so far taken place in the Andalusian Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium. In all six games Sevilla, who are also in the Europa League with five overall victories undisputed record winners, prevailed in the end. In only one home match, the Hispalenses scored less than three goals. In three of six home games, there were even at least five own hits. In connection with the 1-0 away win at the Biancocelesti in the first leg on Thursday, the starting position for the move into the second round is accordingly good. No wonder then that Sevilla is against Lazio Rome according to the odds of bookmakers in the big favorite role. Although the Nervionenses would strictly speaking also the draw in the second leg is sufficient to move into the next round, but with regard to the home strength of the Andalusians is not to be expected that the Italian Eagles will throw too much into this away game. The chances of reaching the round of 16 with an away win in Spain should be correspondingly low. In Sevilla against Lazio, the prognosis is that Simone Inzaghi will spare his best team for the upcoming Coppa Italia semi-final against AC Milan, so much more coherent. Especially since the Aquile with the Roman city derby as well as the away game at the Fiorentina in the Serie A two really thick chunks are imminent. In short: In Seville against Lazio, tip 1 is the most sensible option.
Sevilla FC have lost to the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals on away goals. In 2010/11, it was also out 1-0 at FC Porto, the 1: 2 home defeat at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán but sealed the so far only Aus in the knockout round of this Andalusian competition. All the other three times, in which the Andalusians were part of the round of the last 32 teams, it was enough in the end to the overall victory - most recently in 2016, when the third triumph in series in the Europa League could be sealed. Although the Rojiblancos lost their dress rehearsal at the weekend with a 0-3 defeat at Villarreal, nonetheless, not much speaks for the fact that there could be another draw in the European Championship semifinals. The Spaniards have so far won all six home matches in the competition this season, scoring 22 goals and scoring just one goal. What further underscores this unbelievable international home strength is the series, which continued seamlessly: once Europa League matches against other La Liga teams have been ignored, Sevilla FC have all won their last 17 home games in the competition. The last non-Spanish team to win in UEFA's second most important competition in Andalusia was the Portuguese club Estoril in the 2013/14 group stage (1-1 draw). The prognosis for Sevilla against Lazio Rome is now even clearer for a home victory of the Nervionenses, which on Saturday also faces an important league match against FC Barcelona.
Lazio also has its dress rehearsal on the weekend dammed in the sand. Despite the lead at the break, it was at the end away at Genoa 1: 2 by a last-minute goal in injury time. Thus, the Eagles - last season still only on Matchday 38 by the Nerazzurri from Milan from place four and thus displaced from the Champions League - now only seventh in Serie A. On a qualifying place for the premier class, it is again four points behind And currently not even the re-qualification for the Europa League would be done. The more likely it is that the focus of the Romans, who lost their third European League match in the first leg in their history in the 1-0 home defeat against Sevilla in the first leg in their history, should move. One problem is certainly the enormously large military hospital, with the coach Simone Inzaghi currently has to cope. Nine players are injured at Lazio, or are at least beaten and no option for the full 90 minutes. All the more, the focus may be on national targets. As mentioned earlier, Lazio will face Coppa Italia in the next match against AC Milan, with either Bergamo or Fiorentina waiting for an opponent who would definitely be beatable. According to current status, this would be the easiest way for the Biancocelesti to Europe, while in the Serie A with the Derby della Capitale against archrival AS Roma and the away game at the Fiorentina in the next two weeks, the decision should be whether the Romans rather into Have to orientate midfield or if they can find the connection again. Hard to imagine that the Italians in Spain engage in a battle of wear that would cost the remaining players important strength. Thus, with Sevilla against Lazio, the tip against the Aquile is much more reasonable, although with Ciro Immobile, the top goalscorer will potentially be back on the field, as opposed to the first leg.
