There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Europa League Round of 16 meeting between Fenerbahçe and Sevilla. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Sevilla have to travel 3900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a La Liga game only four days ago.

Sevilla form and stats

They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the round of 16, when West Ham United drew the shortest straw.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sevilla so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-6 (win-draw-lose). When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 2W-0D-1L. This is both home and away.

The club members enjoyed Sevilla's previous match versus Almeria, a 2-1 win played at home. Lamela came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Almeria last time out, making the manager Moya feel like a tactical genius. Midfielder Telles was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.84. Telles hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 27 successful passes (of 30 total).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sevilla manager Moya as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Getafe.

The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
