The second half of the group stage gets underway as we continue the search for our first win in this year’s edition. To date, we haven’t seen Sevilla’s best football in Europe’s elite competition. This match against Lille could set the tone for rest of our Champions League campaign. A win today can put four points between us and the French champions, and take us one step closer to the knockout round. Will our home support be enough to push us through over the line?
Must win! I’m confident we can win as we have our full squad back bar papu! Papu gomez the only player injured so we in good shape fitness wise. We have been strong at home this season and I think we will show that tonight. Vamos sevilla!
Doubtfull, but only confident because its in RSP. Last time with the rain the crowd was not quite there. But we do need it now, like it was there against Levante. Its exactly what this team needs, a good yelling to get them going from the start and get in the right flow so we stay in the CL.
For the line up, i’m flipping it, for lope to get back to his good’ol favourites.
Bono
J. Navas Kounde D.Carlos Acuna

Suso Nesyri Ocampos
Happy with the line up! It’s good a good balance between attack and defence. We have very strong options on the bench to help us if we need it as well. This is the team I would pick except maybe lamela instead of Suso. I agree with him starting rafa Mir as YEN needs to be eased back gradually after a long injury. YEN may get about 25 mins tonight I feel.
I’m quite happy with that line up. Pleased to see Torres and Delaney get starts in the midfield. I would have started Lamela but not bad on the whole. I can understand YEN being rested but he’s there if needed, hopefully not!
Alrighty, I like the midfield as well. Beforehand I was afraid of Sanches too, but his form recently isn’t the greatest luckily. Wasn’t impressed with Celik either to be honest.
