In their first game in the group stage of the Europa League, Sevilla beat the Qarabag by 0x3. In this match against APOEL, coach Julen Lopetegui must play in the usual tactical system, that is, in 4-3-3, benefiting the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the flanks: Éver Banega is one of the most important players in Seville, since he is one of the main organizers of the offensive process. All equipment is available for this game.
APOEL :
The visiting team arrives at this 2nd day of Group A after a defeat in its premiere in this group stage, against the F91 Dudelange, for (3-4).

APOEL is coming for this match after a 1-0 victory against AEL Limassol, for the Cyprus Super Cup. Keep in mind that he lost in his first match for the Europa League against the Dudelange, by 3×4. Coach Thomas Doll is expected to play in the usual 4-3-3, with Linus Hallenius as the team’s most offensive reference. However, it should be noted that the most dangerous player in the tactical scheme of the team is Musa Al-Taamari: the Jordanian player is very fast and competent in the finalization. For this game, the coach can count on all his players.
