Hansa Rostock vs Sevilla Prediction and Betting Tips
Sevilla continue their pre-season at the Ostseestadion on Saturday (July 22) where Hansa Rostock host them for a friendly.
Los Nervionenses are unbeaten in three friendly clashes in the summer. They began with a 2-0 defeat of third-tier Spanish side Cordoba before seeing off AD Ceuta 5-2 in their next game.
On Wednesday, Sevilla drew 1-1 with Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle in the UEFA-CONMEBOL Club Challenge before the Andalusian side prevailed 4-1 on penalties.
For the first time this summer, Sevilla fly out of Spain, with their next two games scheduled in Germany, before crossing over the Atlantic to play two friendlies in the US and one in Mexico.
The Sevillistas won the UEFA Europa League last season for a record seventh time, beating Jose Mourinho's AS Roma on penalties in the final. Their league campaign, though, was disappointing, as they finished a lowly 12th.
Nevertheless, thanks to their European triumph, Sevilla find themselves in the hat for the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League. They also come up against treble winners Manchester City in the UEFA Supercup on August 16 as Jose Luis Mendilibar looks to pick up his second title as manager.
Meanwhile, Rostock have kept themselves busy with a handful of friendlies. They won 9-0 in their opener versus Malchower but went down 3-2 against Altglienicke. They then saw off Pogon Szczecin 2-0 before a 1-1 draw with BFC Dynamo.
