Prediction: 3-0
Zalgiris
As expected, Sevilla outplayed Ujpest in the Europa League second qualifying round. Los Sevillanos scored seven goals in the double-header against the Hungarian side and they are certainly brimming with confidence ahead of Thursday’s football match against Zalgiris. Over the years the La Liga side have turned their Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan into a real fortress and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Lithuanian side. Zalgiris eliminated Vaduz in the second qualifying round, but we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Sevilla’s party at “Pizjuan”. Sevilla recorded 12 wins in previous 13 home games in the Europa League and that is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Pablo Sarabia, who scored a brace in the 3-1 win over Ujpest, is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition back-line in Thursday’s clash.
