This is a fight for Europa League, and Sevilla is doing better in that fight for the moment, because they are seventh with six points over Celta, which is ninth. Therefore the imperative is bigger for the host, since in the event of a defeat they would practically be eliminated. For Sevilla, the pressure is smaller and because they have the opportunity to win the Cup, in which they will play the finals, making it safer to win placement in Europe through the championship. Both teams are playing pretty recently and they rarely win, and it was 2-1 for Sevilla in the first part of the season
The new bad series of three games without a win has only further undermined the prospects of Celta to win placement on the European scene next season and have now practically reached the decisive match. They should not lose from the team that they want to reach on the table, however, how to expect a triumph when Celta has only celebrated twice in the previous nine rounds. For the last time, they celebrated against Las Palmas in their field, but with a lot of problems and luck in the finish of duel, and then a convincing the defeat of 3-0 in Atletico Madrid and only 0-0 with the last Malaga in Balaidos and in the last round a new draw.
They played as guests with Athletic and were close to defeat, while the reservist Mendez in the injury time brought the final 1-1. After a weak draw with Malaga, coach Unzue has left Roncagliu, Sista, Hernandez and the mentioned Mendez on the bench, who should now be among the starters, because Maxi Gomez was suspended.
Probable lineups Celta Vigo: S.Alvarez – Hugo Mallo, S.Gomez, Cabral, Jonny Castro – Lobotka, Radoja, Wass – Iago Aspas, Mendez, Boye
This was a tough period for Sevilla, and it can be said that denouement started, because they are still active in three competitions, however, the European appearance could soon be over. They have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but it will be difficult because in the first duel against Bayern they are defeated in their field with 2-1. They started out great, they created opportunities and then managed to win, to make the match progressed, they pulled more and were punished with two goals scored. It will be difficult to fix everything in Munich, as they did in the previous round in Manchester.
This time, the result is more unfavourable, so they need a little miracle. They want to qualify in the Champions League next season because the fourth place is 16 points away, which is no surprise after three matches without a win. They will be fighting for Europa League and Banega returns to the team, who did not play against Bayern because of the suspension, while Nolito and Muriel are likely to jump in the offensive part of the team.
Probable lineups FC Sevilla: S.Rico – Layun, Mercado, Lenglet, Escudero – N'Zonzi, Banega – Nolito, Vazquez, Correa – Muriel
For Celta, this maybe the last chance to catch the connection and that is why we expect them to play offensive and win, which will leave room for Sevilla to respond and in such a ratio of strength we expect both networks to shake at least once.
Pick: both teams to score
