Prediction: 1-2
Sevilla
High-flying Krasnodar will be aiming to move one step closer to booking their place in the Europa League knockout stages with a win over Sevilla at their Stadion FK Krasnodar. Krasnodar did well to beat Turkish side Akhisarspor on the road in their Europa League opener, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Thursday’s football match against in-form Sevilla. Los Sevillanos did not make a flying start to the season, but they have been producing thrilling displays in all competitions of late, so it is no surprise they are regarded as favourites to win their second group game. Pablo Machin is doing a good job with the Andalusian side and seeing that summer signing Andre Silva has found his goal-scoring touch, away win should be considered. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time ever in European competitions.
Highlighted Player (Christian Cueva):
Christian Cueva is a Peru international who was born in Trujillo (Peru) on November 23, 1991. Cueva is a produce of Universidad San Martin football school and he continued playing for the club at senior level. After scoring 19 goals in 120 appearances for the club (league matches) the 169-cm tall attacking midfielder moved to Universidad Cesar Vallejo in 2012.
Due to the lack of first-team football, Christian Cueva quickly left the club, signing a deal with Union Espanola. The Peru international played for the likes of Rayo Vallecano (loan), Allianza Lima, Toluca and Sao Paulo as well before joining Russian side Krasnodar in 2018.
