It's game one of two in the Europa League as Sevilla host Fenerbahçe. This is a Round of 16 fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
These teams have little in common geographically as Fenerbahçe have to travel 3900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Sevilla form and stats
Sevilla was eliminated in the round of 16 last season in the Europa League. West Ham United was too strong.4 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Sevilla have to build on here at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in the La Liga.
Sevilla faced defeat in their previous match, away at Atletico Madrid (1-6). As you see from the result above, Sevilla suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Rakitić for missing a penalty kick versus Atletico Madrid in the 74th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. En-Nesyri, who usually features in attack, was the champion performer for the side in that game, receiving a rating of 7.35 (out of 10). En-Nesyri scored one goal.
Preceding that match was a La Liga defeat to Osasuna (2-3).Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the La Liga game versus Almeria in only three days. This game is also played here at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
The Sevilla fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 12 matches. Sevilla's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Fenerbahçe form and stats
They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the group stage.The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 2 draws and only 2 losses in the Super Lig. Total Europa League statistics for Fenerbahçe: 7 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses.
Two away matches in a row for Fenerbahçe, whose manager de Jesus could celebrate last time after the win against Kayserispor. Kadıoğlu was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.84. The defender Kadıoğlu scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 4 of 6 duels.
That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Konyaspor in the Super Lig.Fenerbahçe have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 23 goals from 11 away matches. Fenerbahçe are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 10 times in 11 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
