Juventus has not lost in Europa thus far and is 4-0-1 in its last 5 games. They have maintained possession 50.34% of the time on 85.34% passing. While they have played well on defense recently, with Sevilla coming off a big win against Man U it would not be unexpected for them to net a goal. Juventus has played cleaner throughout their previous games with only 9 offsides while Sevilla has 16 in the same span making the home team the rightfully favored team.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+115).
