Shakhtar Donetsk vs Sevilla Team News
Shakhtar Donetsk Mircea Lucescu welcomes Yaroslav Rakitskiy back to the squad, but Fred will have to serve his ban against Sevilla. Viacheslav Shevchuk has overcome his injury, whilst Marcio Azevedo is definitely out of contention through injury.

Beto and Luismi Sanchez are cup-tied.
Injured: Jose Antonio Reyes
Doubtful: None

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Sevilla Prediction
- Shakhtar Donets are on a five-game winning run in the Europa League
- Miners suffered only one loss in previous nine games in the competition
- Sevilla suffered only one defeat in last eight away matches in the EL
- Over 2.5 goals were scored in Sevilla’s last three games in the competition
- Nine goals were scored in previous two meetings between the two teams
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Sevilla Prediction
Sevilla are eyeing their third consecutive Europa League trophy. Los Sevillanos defeated Shakhtar Donetsk in their last meeting in the competition and given that Unai Emery’s men outplayed Shakhtar’s compatriots Dnipro in the 2014/2015 Europa League final, I am tempted to put my money on the La Liga side this time out. Mircea Lucescu’s men have eliminated the likes of Schalke, Anderlecht and Sporting Braga on their way to the Europa League semis, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the doubleheader against Sevilla.
Betting Tip: Sevilla to win
Odds: 2.75 (7/4) @bet365
