Juventus vs Sevilla: match preview

It's traditional Europa grandeur against modern day tournament specialists as Juventus welcome Sevilla to Turin for the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals tonight. Both teams have endured inconsistent seasons, with this tournament their final opportunity for silverware, but both are well-schooled in the art of late-tournament performances. Both sides will be gunning for an early advantage.

Juventus fans won't forget 2022/23 in a hurry. The Old Lady's 15-point Serie A deduction for capital gain violations was overturned on appeal, making Champions League qualification much more likely via the domestic route, but their form on the pitch has been as chaotic as issues off it amid rumours that the club can't afford to sack coach Max Allegri.

Juve lost five of their six Champions League group stage games (a section that included Benfica, PSG and Maccabi Haifa) and were lucky to even drop down into the Europa League. Beaten in the Coppa Italia semi-finals by Inter Milan, they're 17 points behind Serie A champions Napoli – to whom they've lost twice, including a 5-1 drubbing – and have even fallen to an embarrassing 2-0 defeat against Monza.

Striker Dusan Vlahovic has struggled to 13 goals this season, far from his prolific best, but has scored in his last two Serie A outings, while former Chelsea teenager Samuel Iling-Junior has begun to get some first-team minutes and was himself on the scoresheet in last weekend's defeat of Atalanta. They have big players, from Adrien Rabiot to Angel Di Maria, so don't discount experience in European semi-finals.

Sevilla have shot up La Liga since Jose Luis Mendilibar was parachuted in as the Andalusians' third coach of the season after Julen Lopetegui and Jorge Sampaoli. Los Rojiblancos were in serious relegation trouble when the firefighter took over in late March, but they've since risen to 11th after winning five of the newbie's seven league games in charge.

The quarter-final defeat of Manchester United, admittedly helped by some shambolic defending in both legs from the Red Devils, have raised expectations that the six-time tournament winners can add to their record haul. Mendilibar has rotated in the Europa League and should stick with the names that have got him this far, with the experienced Ivan Rakitic as a No.10 and ex-Spurs winger Erik Lamela in from the off.

Youssef En-Nesyri has 17 goals this season, four in the Champions League and three in the Europa League, and, though the Moroccan has lost his Liga starting spot, he should lead the line tonight. Porous for much of the season, Sevilla are now tough to break down with a rigid tactical plan from their belligerent Basque tactician.

The teams have met only four times before, in successive Champions League group stages from 2015/16, with Juve having one win and one draw from their two home games. Whatever happens, both teams' flaws should make this quite the watch. Follow our guide to get a Juventus vs Sevilla live stream and watch the Europa League online from anywhere.
