Sevilla once again confirms that they are the champions of the Europa League. It has played for survival in La Liga for a long time, only emerging from the last third of the table at the end of the season, winning only two of its last six games. It has gone through to the final against PSV, Fenerbahce, Manchester United and Juventus.

AS are in a better situation, they have already secured the TOP 7 and therefore the cups, they are only playing for the Europa or Conference League. It had a tough road to the final via Salzburg, Real Sociedad, Feyenoord and Bayer Leverkusen.

Sevilla’s key figures

The home side rely on Youssef En-Nesyri, the burly striker has netted 18 goals and assisted twice. Experienced winger Erik Lamela is capitalising on his Premier League and Serie A experience, currently on eight goals and three assists.

AS key figures

Although he’s not on fire like he was last year, Sevilla need to keep an eye on Tammy Abraham, the English striker has netted nine goals and seven assists. It’s Paulo Dybala who rocks in midfield, assisting eight more in addition to his 15 goals.

Sevilla are struggling mainly up front, with 46 shots they have the third worst offensive performance of the top 11 of the La Liga table. At the same time, it has scored more than once in only three of the past nine games through all competitions.

AS, on the other hand, is not good either, winning only once in the past nine games. In any case, the opponent’s struggling attack could be paid for by the defensive unit, which is the fourth best in Serie A with 37 goals conceded.

Considering Sevilla’s attack’s woes, AS’s defensive performance on the contrary, and Jose Mourinho’s experience in final matches, I think the Wolves will be celebrating winning another European trophy at the end of the night.
