Match preview
Europa League kings Sevilla are at it again.
Last Thursday, los Nervionenses took a firm grip of this tie by beating Fenerbahçe 2-0 at Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
Joan Jordán’s deflected shot broke the deadlock just after half time, before Érik Lamela secured victory right at the end.
So, will Sevilla complete the job in İstanbul?
Los Hispalenses, just about, saw off PSV in the previous round, winning 3-0 at home before losing 2-0 away.

So, will the six-times Europa League winners avoid a collapse and rubber stamp their quarter-final spot?
Fenerbahçe are unbeaten at home in this competition this season, winning four of five matches.
If the Yellow Canaries are going to reach the last eight of a UEFA competition for the first time in a decade, they’ll need to further extend that record.
Will Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium witness a remarkable comeback?
