I think it will be difficult for Juventus to defeat Sevilla in their home ground knowing how experience they are when it comes to Europa league and no doubt the performance of Sevilla against Manchester united at home should tell what we should expect tomorrow in their game against Juventus because that will be their only way of going to the finals and a win in the final will see them qualify to champions league next season since they didn't make it to top4 in their home league but regardless we shouldn't totally right off Juventus because they are in good form and may show up with an amazing performance because they really need to get a trophy this season so the performance of both team is going to be a major determiner of who wins the game and move to the final.

Do not under estimate the ability and experience of Mourinho in the Europa League.  He needs not to be counted out especially when  he is even the one leading. You should be prepared to see Mourinho in the finals and when he meets Sevilla that is where the game will become challenging. Sevilla has a decent history in Europa more than their opponents at any time and that was why they were able to eliminate Manchester United who was in good form as at the time they played the match.

Roma, who won the first match 1-0, have a tough job.I think that Leverkusen will be the side that will get through the round for some reason.Leverkusen is a really good team at home and we have seen this in the last weeks in the league matches they have played.But in the European cups, teams sometimes do not perform as well as they do in the league.We can say this in a good way and in a bad way.I think that losing the first match 1-0 is not a very demoralizing event for them.I think they have the power to score 2 goals against Roma at home.Xabi's team will prevail against Mourinho's team.
Sevilla, on the other hand, have managed to get this far with their experience in an incredible way.How they eliminated Manchester united is still strange to me.We can say that they have recovered in recent weeks and they are in form.Juventus will give everything in this match to win a success because they have not won the league, but sevilla away is not an easy away.I expect Sevilla to win the match.

IMO, Sevilla's only chance because they are playing at their own base. technically the team is not that good and we can refer to that in the first leg. on the contrary, Juventus is better from a technical point of view. it's a shame, their game was so messy and especially in the first half. I suspect they were carried away by the rhythm of Sevilla's style of play. in the second leg later, it is only natural that they will be more favored because they are playing as the home team. but that does not mean, Juventus can be conquered easily. even I still have faith, if Juventus will qualify for the final round phase. most likely, I will bet on Juventus.


For the Bayern Leverkusen match, I think both teams have the same chance. in fact, winning one goal on aggregate does not make AS Roma in a safe position. moreover, the match will be played at BayArena, Leverkusen headquarters. my guess is, Mourinho will use defensive tactics. But to find out more, let's just wait and see what the two coaches will do to develop a strategy for the semifinal match later. even so, my guess is that while the fight will continue until extra time. So, I will choose the home team.

I don't think it would be the right thing to underestimate Leverkusen now. Maybe there is some drop in their form recently but the work they have done so far is really impressive anyway. Xabi Alonso is doing an amazing job for a manager who is at the beginning of his career. He is admired by some big names in football also. I know that he is facing a huge experience like Mourinho in this round and they are already 1-0 behind against Roma on aggregate.

But I think nothing has finished just yet. Bookmakers think the same as it seems when we check the odds of the second leg match. Leverkusen are favoured quite much in their home match and I started feeling like this won't end in regular time. We might see a similar scenario Roma had against Feyenoord in the second leg maybe.

Too many "ifs" in your reasoning. Sevilla are currently in 9th place with zero chance of qualifying for the Champions League via La Liga (last year they were 4th). Of course, if they win the Europa League it will be a jackpot that will change everything, but do you strongly believe in such an outcome? Yes, it's great that Sevilla still have a chance to turn the season into a good one (title + Champions League ticket), but if this all-in doesn't work, then I will consider their season a failure even if they finish 7th and get into the Conference League.

I also think Sevilla have a better chance of winning this game. Someone wrote here that it's not right to compare this game with the one against Manchester United, but I think the same story could happen again now. Sevilla are on the rise and easily won their last home game against Manchester United. For me it was unbelievable to say the least, but they did it. Probably the same thing will happen to Juventus.

Correctly said, and you can bank on Sevilla to qualify to the finals. I honestly do not see Juventus heading to the finals, the last time they played the final in the European games was when Juventus faced Barcelona during the Champions League finals and they lost still.

They won Manchester United the best side who should have won the trophy so I'm expecting them to get to the finals against Jose Mourinho and his side AS Roma. Sevilla sparkling form would speak for them tommorow I'm sure bout that, they have all of the advantages.

It's a shame that Leverkusen is currently experiencing a very significant decline in performance.
it was clear in the Bundesliga when they didn't win in 3 consecutive matches even though they were struggling hard to improve their position in the standings.
the defeat in the first leg made it even more difficult for them even though in the second leg they will play in front of their own supporters but if their performance doesn't change or rises I don't see any chance for Leverkusen to be able to turn things around.
I also have the same belief as you.
Jose Mourinho is a very experienced coach and he definitely knows what he has to do to stay on top and reach the final.

Sevilla are the kings of the Europa League, they have very high confidence in this tournament, their form from the start of the season was poor in La Liga but now they are back to their best and are also consistent.

the draw in the first leg was really profitable for Sevilla because in the second leg they will play in front of their own supporters.
I remember when they destroyed Manchester United and made sure to advance to the semifinals, after they drew in the first leg and in the second leg they played quite well in front of their own supporters.
maybe it will also happen again when they play Juventus.

Yes indeed, it is difficult to predict which team will qualify for the final for the match between Sevilla against Juventus, because both of them have the opportunity and quality that may be the same at this moment. However, since Sevilla have managed to make such quick changes to their performances and results this season too, I would probably say that Sevilla deserved enough to qualify for the Europa League final this time around.

But what is certain is that both of them will still make great efforts to win, because at this moment Sevilla has a better chance. Apart from the fact that there is nothing superior from the aggregate factor, but because Sevilla is playing at home, then Sevilla should have maximized this very good moment to win and qualify for the final match.

I also believe Sevilla will win that game. Sevilla did unexpected well in the first leg. Juventus just woke up towards the end of the match. I also believe if Juventus had scored that goal earlier, Sevilla would have scored again. They were that determined.
In Spain Sevilla will dominate and win. The only Achilles hill will be the same issue they had in the first leg; not making use of their goal scoring opportunities. If they had made used of the opportunities they got they would have had a better advantage by now.


This is going to be a very difficult game to predict. Leverkusen is an attacking team and I believe they will attack Roma a lot. That been said, I will bet on Roma. The only reason I'm betting on Roma is because of Jose Mourinho. I don't think he will throw away his one goal lead.

They prefer to organize matches and rely more on accurate passes than playing by relying on the running of the players and obviously things like this are a little different from Manchester United who always have a fast tempo when attacking.
I still believe that in this match the possibility of Sevilla playing more balls is a certainty, it seems, especially with Juventus' style, which does have a slower tempo, in fact it is in contrast to Sevilla's style, which is actually still the same style as Manchester United or EPL clubs, which prioritize speed.
At the moment there is still no word of a return from Pogba but admittedly this shouldn't be too much of a problem as they are used to it.

Sevilla have not lost a single home game this Europa League season and have conceded just 1 goal. It seems to me that not every team can show the same statistics. It's true that Juventus also have good away stats. I think it could really come down to extra time and a penalty shootout. It's hard to say who will make it to the final.

Sevilla is very strong in this competition, especially when playing home. Even though they were stumbling in La Liga, they were able to show their strength in the European League. Juventus have felt how difficult it is to face the European League specialist team. But even though Sevilla is seeded does not mean that Juventus no longer have a chance. The 1-1 draw in the 1st leg is still hope for Allegri to hunt for victory in Spain. But Juventus must work extra hard to be able to paralyze Sevilla in Ramon Sanchez Pijzuan.

I think what you're saying is quite logical, because Juventus is a very different team so you don't have to compare it to the team that Sevilla had beaten in the previous round. After all, the defeat that Manchester United has experienced in the Europa League this season was also caused by the mistakes of their own players, so this certainly won't happen to Juventus, who are already very wary of Sevilla. Moreover, tomorrow Juventus will visit Sevilla's house so they must have a better strategy against Sevilla.

It seems that indeed it could be a strong reason if you can advance to the final round then become the European league champion to secure a place in the champions league. It's quite realistic for these two teams to win this place, especially since that's their only hope left. What is certain this time is that Leverkusen will not be complacent against Roma, for sure they will play attacking as usual because that is Xabi Alonso's strategy to be able to win. On the other hand, Mourinho doesn't seem to want to bother in the second leg later, they will definitely prefer to defend than attack for 90 minutes because he knows Leverkusen's style of play is very troublesome for his defense.

I agree with you that Juventus' chances against Sevilla are slim because after all they are the favorites even though they will play at home to Sevilla. I also agree that comparing what Manchester United felt when they beat Sevilla is also something that cannot be compared, because the two clubs have different playing styles, that will be a quite visible difference.
I don't deny that Sevilla is a very dangerous club in this match, but that will also depend on Juventus' game, if Juventus play badly then maybe Sevilla's victory will be inevitable.

Sevilla has really improved in their performance over the last two months both in the UEFA Europa League competition and in their domestic league and that is why they've been backed by bookies to win their semi-final final second leg against Juventus.
But football is not played in the back pages of newspapers and football is also not decided by how popular a team is expected to win against another. Juventus is not a small club that should be written off so easily because of the quality of players in their possession.

Calling the chances for Juventus very slim is an exaggeration. You can't take the Manchester United game as an example and apply it 1:1 to the duel between Sevilla and Juventus. Sometimes games go the way they go as it did against Manchester United, but do I expect Sevilla to win this one 3-0 as well? No, if both show their best game it will be a close game until the very end I think. Sevilla has now all they wanted, which is a good position from the first minute into the game and they play at home. Juventus has a little disadvantage here as they couldn't capitalize on having their fans as a support at home. This could also go into overtime and maybe a penalty shootout.

The Leverkusen team is not considered strong right now. Leverkusen's performance has not been good in the last few matches. Leverkusen are winless in their last four matches and have lost two. Not only is Leverkusen's defense weak, their attack is also weak now. On the other hand, Mourinho is a very experienced coach. In the first leg, his team - Roma - won by 10. And so the Roma team will be able to qualify for the Europa League final if they can draw the match of the second leg. Roma's defense is quite strong. I think Mourinho will develop a defensive strategy in the second leg. And he will be looking to qualify for the final by drawing the match. I believe Roma will be able to qualify for the final.
