Ujpest – Sevilla Prediction & Picks (02.08.2018)

It is no secret that the Andalusian side is a favorite on this occasion, even though they won 4-0 in the first leg at the Sánchez Pizjuán. For this reason and knowing that the Hungarians are irregular in their actions, we believe that the simple triumph of the visit is interesting to bet. Remember that the hierarchy difference between one squad and another will be noticed from the initial stage, being feasible that those led by Pablo Machín can score through elaborate plays or taking advantage of the little mark that there is in the balls stopped.

Ujpest:

The team comes from playing its second game for the Hungarian league 2018-2019 (draw 2-2 against Haladas after winning 1-2 the initial stage). Now his goal is to make a dignified presentation that allows him to be eliminated but without suffering another humiliation more. The Hungarians are competitive in their domestic tournament, but when they face rivals of high hierarchy they end up being overwhelmed in all areas of the field. Just review the statistics of the first leg to corroborate this statement (43% of possession, 3 shots and 1 corner in favor). For this duel it is expected that coach Vignjevic keep the system 4-2-3-1, since he can not risk too much against Sevilla. If he does, he could receive one or two goals in the initial stage and another one more goals. He will not play for expulsion, the Serbian side Pauljevic.

Ujpest is having a hard time playing a few friendly matches, as the football rhythm is finding him while he is playing various official matches. The only preparation match he played was on July 4 and the final result was a 0-1 defeat against Zapresic of Croatia. Then he eliminated Neftci Baku of Azerbaijan for the previous round of the Europa League. Yes, the key was more than complicated after losing 3-0 away as a visitor and win the home return by a forceful 4-0. His last duel at home was against MTK Budapest and the result was negative after losing 0-2 (goals conceded at 26 ‘of the first half and 47’ of the second).

Seville:

The Spaniards won 4-0 at home and demonstrated their ample superiority from the initial stage. It is enough to know that they won 3-0 to corroborate this affirmation. Now the goal of those led by Pablo Machín is to keep getting the rhythm of football in this presentation, as the qualification to the next stage of the Europa League is practically sentenced. It is possible that the Andalusian coach makes some variants in the starting eleven, since the effort of the preseason is still quite intense. However, it does not matter who plays, since the highest quality of the Spanish will be noticed in any aspect of the game. It is not ruled out that Sevilla scores a goal in the first half and that he can manage the times until the referee decides to whistle the final whistle.

Continuing with the analysis, you should know that the Andalusians have reaped several results in their pre-season friendlies, and their goal is to get the best possible way to the Spanish Supercup that will play against Messi’s mighty Barcelona. The results of these encounters were the following: Victory 0-6 against Linares, 1-1 draw with Bournemouth, 0-2 victory against Real Murcia and defeat 0-1 against Benfica. If we analyze all these matches, we can conclude that Sevilla’s tactical stoppage for this season will be a clear 3-4-2-1, which was already used by Pablo Machín during his stay in Girona. At the moment it is expected that Jesus Navas and the Brazilian Arana are unbalanced by the bands and that the central midfielders Franco Vásquez and Roque Mesa are in charge of starting the plays and managing the balance between the lines. Up Sarabia, Nolito and Ben Yedder will be in charge of specifying the situations facing the goal. As an important revulsive will be the Argentinean Banega, who little by little is trying to recover his best level.

The only duel between Hungarians and Spaniards was held a few days ago in the Sanchez Pizjuán (3-0 victory in the first half, reaching minute 92 ‘the final goal of Frenchman Ben Yedder).
