What is it with Sevilla and the Europa League? The Spanish side are chasing their third straight win in this competition and a ticket into the Champions League next season. Sevilla are a strange side for sure, if this was being held on home territory I'd probably be tipping them to win but away from home Sevilla are nowhere near as strong. They lost all three of their away games in the Champions League, didn't win a single away game in La Liga all season and still finished seventh getting themselves at least a Europa League spot for next season. Back in this competition they have lost to Molde, drawn at Basel and Shakhtar Donetsk and won at fellow Spanish side Athletic Bilbao. So in other words they've got to the final without winning a match outside of Spain. They face a tough task taking on a Liverpool side who have only lost one of their 14 games in this competition, a 1-0 loss in the semi-final first leg at Villarreal. They had that fantastic comeback against Borussia Dortmund in the quarter final and hammered Villarreal in their semi-final home leg. Not that many wins away from Anfield though, just the one at Rubin Kazan in the group stages. With Klopp's European experience with Dortmund, Liverpool have a great chance of winning here and getting into the Champions League. Failure means no European football at all next season. Liverpool rested all their top players at the weekend and I think they can deny Sevilla a hat-trick of wins here.
