Liverpool
The Reds finished third in the Premier League last season, unable to compete for the championship. For a long time, Liverpool kept pace with Manchester City and Arsenal, but at the most critical moment, the team started dropping points in almost every match, quickly losing their chances for first place.
The Merseyside team enters the new season with a new manager, Dutch specialist Arne Slot. In three pre-season friendlies, Liverpool achieved nothing but victories. Notably, the Reds defeated Sevilla’s Betis 1-0 in the first match and went on to beat Arsenal (2-1) and Manchester United (3-0).

Sevilla
Last season, Sevilla was not impressive and performed poorly overall, finishing in a modest 14th place in the La Liga standings. The team ended the season with a streak of four consecutive losses in the league. As a result, the club’s management decided to change the head coach.
They appointed García Pimienta, who previously managed Las Palmas. Under the new coach, Sevilla lost to Orlando Pirates 0-2 and Sporting Lisbon 1-2 in friendly matches. However, they followed these with victories over Al-Ittihad (1-0) and Fulham (2-1).
