Uefa cup Wednesday

Sevilla FC v FK Partizan Belgrade

This one is a bit of a no brainer and really it should only be a case of how many the home side will win by. It might not be so straightforward though but after a dismal showing in the 3 – 0 defeat at home to Barcelona on Saturday night there is no doubt that the home side are out to restore a bit of pride. Mathematically this game is a must win for Sevilla as they need the 3 points to give themselves a better shot at the top 3 in the group and qualification to the next round. Fabiano will be suspended for Sevilla this coming weekend and should be a starter tomorrow. Navas will return from his suspension and Squilacci is back and should be fit to play.
Partizan have little to play for but pride. 0 points to date and no chance of qualifying begs the question if they will send a full strength squad to Spain. A surprise defeat at the weekend has cut their lead at the top of the Serbian league to 5 points. Admittedly there is a long way to go in their domestic league but that is now the priority as European dreams will have to wait until next year.

Verdict
Home side needing the points versus a poor travelling side that don’t need the points. Should be a routine home win but it’s a little hard to find any real value as the odds on the home win are too low and the asian handicap levels are set about right. Nonetheless Sevilla on their day are capable of mixing it with the best and should win this game by at least a two goal margin.
Good luck
