Sevilla hosts AS Roma in the first leg of the Europa League 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, March 12th at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Seville)
In the championship of Spain, Sevilla is in third place with a goal difference of 39-29. In the last stage of the Europa League, the Spanish club knocked out tough Romanian CFR Cluj. The matches were very difficult for Sevilla, and the team managed to score only one goal in two legs. And it scored it at the end of the away game, which ended with a score of 1-1. The home match ended in a goalless draw, and Sevilla advanced further due to a goal scored on a foreign pitch. This season, the hosts show not very productive football, and their matches often end with Under 2.5 goals scored. Not long ago, the Red and Whites had a meeting with Atletico Madrid, and then the match turned out to be scoring, but this is most likely an exception to the rule. Sevilla plays stably in defense and does not concede many goals.

As for Roma, they are on the fifth line in the Italian championship and fight for getting into the Champions League zone. The Romans also had a rather difficult opponent at the previous stage, and we did not see many goals in both meetings. The Romans passed Belgian Gent with difficulties and could well not win in the home game since Gent had many opportunities to score a goal. It will be difficult for Roma to score in the meeting with Sevilla since this team is not Cagliari or Lecce.
Both clubs had problems in the last round and scored three goals for two in four meetings. Sevilla shouldn’t concede at the home stadium. The team understands this, and it will try to play reliably on the defensive. In general, the teams will not play open football in the first match, so I will bet on Under 2.5 goals scored. It’s also worth noting that the meeting will be held in front of empty stands, which will negatively affect performance.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
