OPPOSITION FOCUS UPDATE | SEVILLA | EUROPA LEAGUE

Last Sunday when Juventus were mounting the 2-0 success over Cremonese, the Bianconeri's Europa League semi-final opponents were also in action.

Sevilla collected all three points too, with a 3-0 win at Real Vallodolid, and just like Juve, found the net in the second half. Rafa Mir opened the scoring on 49 minutes before former Atalanta forward Alejandro Gómez, with his first goal in 13 months, doubled the lead on 78'. The game's third and final goal was scored in stoppage time by Jesús Corona on his return from injury.

The weekend win in Vallodolid definitively confirmed Sevilla's place in La Liga with four matches to play. Let's find out more about the form on their own turf ahead of Thursday's Euopa League decider.

HOME FORM

Not even recently crowned champions Barcelona boast a run of form as impressive as Sevilla's. Since Jose Luis Mendilibar took over the helm at the start of April, the Rojiblancos have collected 19 of the 24 points on offer. The one defeat arrived on May 1, a 2-0 home loss to Girona.

Of their 44 points, 25 have been earned at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium with seven wins, four draws and six defeats. Although the fans had to wait until January before celebrating their maiden success this season in La Liga after going the opening seven games at home without a win, since the turn of the year Sevilla have won seven of their 10 league outings at La Bombonera de Nervión.

EUROPEAN FORM

Sevilla's only win in their Champions League campaign arrived at home in matchday 5 against Copenhagen. In Andalusia they had previously been on the receiving end of 4-0 and 4-1 defeats to Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund respectively in the opening two group stage matches at home.

In the Europa League, instead, it has been a different story - three clean sheets and three victories, against PSV Eindhoven, Fenerbahçe and Manchester United.

In fact, the last goal conceded in European competition at the Sánchez-Pizjuán was against Borussia Dortmund in early October.
