Sevilla vs. Juventus picks and predictions
Prediction
Sevilla 2, Juventus 0
Moneyline (ML)
BET SEVILLA +145.
Expect Sevilla’s streak of winning it 3 previous semifinal legs played at home in the Europa League to continue on Thursday. They controlled much of the match in the 1st leg despite Juventus controlling possession.
In 9 such previous ties, Sevilla has never lost a 2-legged tie in the Europa League knockout stages when playing at home in the 2nd leg.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (-145).
Sevilla shut down Juventus until a late attack just as Juventus kept Sevilla out of the net outside an early goal. Expect the pressure to be on both teams, but for the home team to have the momentum and get the clean sheet. They have conceded just 1 goal in their last 5 home games in Europa competition.
