Back UEFA Europa League: Sevilla vs FC Porto preview

Sevilla were beaten 1-0 in the first leg last week but they are confident of overturning that deficit when they host FC Porto on Thursday. The Spaniards have won five of their last six games at home in all competitions and striker Kevin Gameiro is in top form, having scored eight goals in Sevilla's last 13 games. He bagged a brace last weekend as Sevilla demolished Espanyol 4-1 in their Primera Liga match last Sunday.

Porto won the first leg thanks to a header from captain Eliaquim Mangala, who converted Ricardo Quaresma's cross. They will have to do without Brazilian midfielder Fernando though as he was sent off during the first leg, three minutes before the end of the match. Porto managed a 3-1 win over Academica last weekend, it was their fourth success in five games.

Both sides have a successful tradition in this competition, Porto lifted the UEFA Cup in 2003 while Sevilla won it back in 2006 and 2007. The first leg result makes Porto slight favourites to qualify as a draw would be enough for them and they also have the advantage of having kept a clean sheet in the home match.

Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:

Sevilla win - 10/11 Draw - 13/5 Porto win - 7/2
