Sevilla started this season in the main club competition of the continent, but took only the third position in the group stage, which brought a ticket to the Europa League. At the first stage of the playoffs, the Nervions easily passed Dinamo Zagreb, but the 1/8 final stage was already the last in this tournament – in extra time, the Red-Whites gave way to West Ham in the next stage. At the same stage, the Sevillians stopped their performances in the Spanish Cup, where after success with Cordoba and Zaragoza, Julen Lopetegui’s wards could not cope with Betis. In the La Liga tournament, the hosts have 15 victories and 12 peaceful outcomes after 30 stages, which brought 57 points and fourth place in the standings. It is impossible not to note the team’s best performance in the league in the defensive line, which conceded only 20 times. After a draw with Real Sociedad (0:0), the team lost to Barcelona (0:1). Akuna, Delaney, Rezhes and Suso, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to play today.
Wolverhampton had a poor start in the FA Cup and FA Cup this year, where the team went through only one stage, where they defeated Sheffield United (3:0), after which they unexpectedly lost to Norwich (0:1) . In the Premier League tournament, the “tramps” have not yet been able to complete the main task for the season, which is to gain a foothold in the European Cup zone. After the 31st round of the current season, the wards of Bruno Lagy have 15 wins and four peaceful outcomes, which brought 49 points and eighth place in the standings. After losing to Leeds United (2:3), today’s guests beat Aston Villa (2:1). The attack line looks very weak, which differed only 33 times, while the Wolves played quite successfully in the defense line, which conceded less than one goal per game. Hoover and Neves, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play today.
