The UEFA Europa League is back in action with another set of matches this week as PSV Eindhoven lock horns with Jorge Sampaoli’s Sevilla side in a crucial encounter at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Thursday.
Sevilla are currently in 12th place in the La Liga standings and have endured an abysmal league campaign by their standards so far. The Andalusian giants defeated Mallorca by a commendable 2-0 margin in their previous game and will need to achieve a similar result this week.
PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the Eredivisie table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Dutch outfit thrashed Groningen by a 6-0 margin over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Match Details:
- Match: Sevilla vs PSV
- Date: 17 February 2023
- Time: 1:30 am

Sevilla vs PSV Prediction
Sevilla have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks and will need to play out of their skins to win a trophy this season. The likes of Youssef En-Nesyri and Suso can be effective on their day and will need to step up in this fixture.
PSV Eindhoven have been inconsistent in recent weeks and will need to be at their best against European opposition. Sevilla are the better team on paper and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Prediction: Sevilla 2-1 PSV Eindhoven

Sevilla vs PSV Team News
Sampoli may opt to err on the side of caution for the first leg, using Marcos Acuna at left wing-back instead of Bryan Gil despite the Tottenham Hotspur loanee impressing at the weekend.
Having been able to rest players during the closing stages versus Mallorca, the rest of the side could potentially stay the same.
Gonzalo Montiel, Joan Jordan and Ivan Rakitic are all options if Sampaoli wishes to add fresh legs to his team.
During the six-goal thrashing of Groningen, Van Nistelrooy was able to rest many of his key men, something which could result in an unchanged XI being selected for this contest.
Phillipp Mwene will be considered for a return in one of the full-back positions if he has fully recovered from concussion.
Youngster Johan Bakayoko will hope to keep his place on the right flank after impressing at the weekend, the 19-year-old netting his fourth goal of the campaign.

We say: Sevilla 2-1 PSV Eindhoven
On paper and current form, this feels like an extremely well-matched tie, and one that we expect to go the distance before a ball has been kicked. However, as far as Thursday is concerned, we are backing Sevilla to continue their recent resurgence and battle their way to victory by the goal in three.
