Manchester United form and stats

Last season, Manchester United's Champions League journey ended in the 8th finals against Atletico Madrid.

Manchester United have performed here at Old Trafford this season with 11 wins from 15 Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1. 8W-1D-1L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Europa League for Manchester United.

Manchester United are confident in defense, having played 182 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

The United regulars enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Everton and win 2-0. Midfielder Fernandes was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.15 (out of ten) in that game. Fernandes hit six key passes and had 87 successful passes (of 101 total).

Before that, Manchester United had a Premier League home game versus Brentford which ended with a victory 1-0.

Sevilla form and stats

Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the round of 16 against West Ham United.

Sevilla have only collected 13 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 3-4-7 (14 played). When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 2W-0D-2L. This is both home and away.

Sevilla's last game was the home draw against Celta de Vigo (2-2). Drawing 2-2 against Celta de Vigo after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Etxebarria needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Acuña was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.8. The defender Acuña scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 6 of 8 duels.

Preceding that game was the away La Liga victory against Cadiz with the score of 2-0.

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

Sevilla have scored 15 goals on their travels this season, from 14 away games in the league. Sevilla have conceded 26 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the previous three meetings featuring these two contenders are: zero wins for Manchester United, one draw and two wins for Sevilla. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: one game.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
