Sevilla vs FK Krasnodar Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals were scored in 100% of Sevilla’s last 10 home matches in all competitions.
• Sevilla scored exactly one goal in five of their last eight home fixtures.
• Sevilla lost just lost just two of their last 26 matches at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

Sevilla to triumph in tight contest

Sevilla started their Group E in typically efficient fashion with a 0-0 draw at Chelsea on match-day one followed by a narrow 1-0 triumph at home to Rennes last week, in a pair of contests that were in keeping with the pattern low-scoring fixtures involving Los Nervionenses this season.

Remarkably, six of Sevilla’s last seven games returned under 2.5 goals, as Julen Lopetegui’s side continues to mix robust defending with low-risk attacking play.

On Wednesday, Sevilla – who lost just two of their last 26 matches at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán – look favourites to lean on that combination again to force a victory at home to Krasnodar.

The Russians looked well below par in their 4-0 mauling at home to Chelsea in their last Champions League outing – though manager Murad Musaev is unlikely to see his team hammered so convincingly in Spain.

Each of Sevilla’s last 10 home assignments saw under 2.5 goals hit the net, and we expect their latest test there on Wednesday to follow suit. With that considered, the under 2.5 goals market is favoured, while our correct score prediction backs the streetwise Spaniards to engineer another 1-0 victory.
