H2H Stats

Prediction

Ceara are still without a victory this season in the league, but in recent years they can show for a good record at home, so maybe they will have a chance against Vasco.

They played vs Atletico Minerao on Sunday and had a good defence, but conceded a penalty in the second half, which was a good news for Atletico because they gifted them a goal.

Vasco, on the other hand, won two matches from two, but this match now will be their first trip away from home.

They are triumphant in their last six meetings against Ceara, who had their last victory back in 2014 and hope to change this with the upcoming match.

H2H Stats

Prediction

Even though it’s not on the same level of a Breton derby, this Derby d’Atlantique is still a hard fight and for sure the atmosphere will be incredible, even without fans.

It’s expected that Nantes will have the advantage here because of their progression, talking about their pre-season, even though they had a long list of absences.

They scored three goals against Le Havre in their recent friendly and really were spectacular.

20:00 Sevilla vs Inter

• After this match, Ever Banega will leave Sevilla, so his final match will be against Inter, his
• former club.
• In both of Sevilla’s last two matches, Diego Carlos conceded a penalty.
• Besides his muscle injury, Alexis Sanchez was good for a place on the bench on Monday, where they enjoyed 5-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk. Still, he isn’t 100% fit yet to play.
• Matias Vecino will miss the game with Inter and Achraf Hakimi still can’t play until the 2020/21 season, as a summer signing.

H2H Stats

Prediction

Sevilla can be proud by being the most successful team in UEFA Cup/Europa League history.

More than any other club, they won the competition on five different occasions and managed to reach the final six times.

Inter won the Champions League back in 2010, so this is going to be their first final in a decade and 10th European one, which makes them the ninth team in history to reach 10 European finals.

Even though Inter are the favourites here, Sevilla are a great opponent and should definitely not be underestimated.

They have track record of winning the last five UEFA finals they have competed in.

Romelu Lukaku has scored in 10 straight Europa League appearances.

For Conte, this will be the perfect end to a strong first season at Inter..
