Sevilla host the first leg in this deciding Europa League 8th Finals game. Roma will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Stadio Olimpico (Roma) before the return leg in 11 days.

Sevilla and Roma should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

It's quite the trip for Roma when visiting Sevilla as the cities are 2300 kilometers apart.

Roma form and stats

Roma's mission in Champions League last season failed in the 8th finals against Porto.

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Roma have produced an overall stat of 7-3-3 so far. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa League stats, they have 3 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss both home and away.

Roma play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-3 victory visiting Cagliari. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Gent.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Roma, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Read more about Europa League

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.
