Sevilla takes Zenit at the stadium "Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan" in the first match of the quarterfinals in the Europa League. On the way to this match Sevilla removed without problems other Spanish team Villarreal with a total score of 5:2 and Zenit dealed with the Italian Torino with a total score of 2:1. The hosts are considered as favorites with odds of their success at 1.60. Guests from Russia are outsiders, as the rate for their victory is 6.50 and the draw is estimated at 4.00.
Sevilla came to draw of 2:2 with Barcelona after losing with 0:2. So, Sevillians kept the chances to qualify in the Champions League. Unai Emery`s boys had 7 consecutive wins before this match and meet Zenit in fine form. Good news from their camp are related to the lack of injured players. The only one with trauma is Beto, who is questionable for the game. Grzegorz Krychowiak returns after suspension, but will remain on the bench of Sevilla.
Zenit in turn came to a draw at home with Rubin Kazan. The team has a comfortable lead of seven points in the Russian Premier League and can concentrate on the upcoming match with Sevilla. Andre Villas-Boas has huge problems before the visit in Spain. Because penalties, the first leg with Sevilla will miss Danny, Igor Smolnikov, Domenico Criscito and Hulk. Viktor Fayzulin`s hand is injured and will not travel to Spain.
In a view of the enormous problems and the absence of five key players in the composition of Zenit, we believe that guests will have difficulties at "Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan". The shape of Sevilla is good and the hosts will take the lead before the second leg in Russia.
Recommended bet: For Sevilla @ 1.60 at bet365
