Sevilla vs Arsenal predictions

After three consecutive victories at Stamford Bridge, Arsenal failed to emerge triumphant away to Chelsea at the weekend.

Yet the way Saturday’s 2-2 draw played out will give Mikel Arteta and his players plenty of confidence as they seek to win the Premier League title this term.

Arsenal were second best for long periods of the game. They struggled to break down Chelsea’s well-organised defensive shape. 

Until Declan Rice halved the deficit after a Robert Sanchez mistake in the 77th minute, Arsenal had not landed a single shot on target.

Yet despite being inferior to their London rivals on the day, the Gunners found a way to get something from the game.

Rice’s goal was followed by a Leandro Trossard strike seven minutes later, as Arsenal stunned the home fans into silence.

They could even have won the match thereafter, with Eddie Nketiah’s shot ending up just wide of Sanchez’s far post.

Arteta will have been delighted with the resolve his players showed, and they will probably need to demonstrate that quality again on Tuesday.

Sevilla might be in the bottom half of the La Liga table right now, but they are improving fast under Diego Alonso.

The Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan is a tough place to go on European nights and Arsenal will have to deal with both the atmosphere inside the ground and the intensity of their opponents on the pitch.

If the Gunners underestimate Sevilla, they could be in trouble.

📝 Sevilla vs Arsenal betting tips

Arsenal begin Tuesday’s match as the favourites but this could be a potential banana skin for Mikel Arteta’s men.

Sevilla or draw - 10/11 (bet365)

A few months ago, Sevilla were celebrating yet another Europa League triumph - their seventh overall and fifth in the last 10 seasons.

It came despite the fact that los Nervionenses were in the La Liga relegation zone around the midway point of the campaign, and still among the contenders for demotion in March.

Sevilla ultimately finished in mid-table while also going all the way in UEFA’s secondary continental competition. The architect of the turnaround was Jose Luis Mendilibar, who replaced Jorge Sampaoli with around three months of the campaign remaining.

Now Mendilibar himself is out of a job. After a shaky start to the 2023/24 season, the Sevilla board acted decisively to remove the Europa League-winning manager earlier this month. 

In his place came the aforementioned Alonso, who was most recent at the helm of the Uruguay national team.

His side held Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw at the weekend. In fact, Sevilla have now lost only one of their last eight matches in all competitions, recovering from their three straight defeats at the beginning of the La Liga season.

Meanwhile Sevilla have not lost at home in European competition for more than a year. Manchester United and Juventus were both defeated at the Pizjuan earlier in 2023.

Arsenal will be targeting a victory on matchday three, but they may have to settle for a draw at best.

Over 2.5 goals - 4/5 (bet365)

With one win and one defeat to their name so far, Arsenal still have plenty of work to do in Group B.

They marked their return to the Champions League for the first time in six years by thumping PSV 4-0 on matchday one, but a shock 2-1 loss to Lens followed earlier this month.

Arsenal still have to face the French team and Sevilla at the Emirates Stadium, so they will still be confident of making it through to the round of 16.

Sevilla, for their part, are sitting on two points after drawing with the other two teams in the group.

They will look to play with energy against Arsenal, who may have to weather an early storm under the lights at the Pizjuan.

But after their impressive comeback against Chelsea last time out, Arsenal will not panic even if they fall behind.

There is plenty of attacking firepower within Arteta’s ranks and this game should be an entertaining one for the neutrals.

Youssef En-Nesyri to score any time - 11/5 (bet365)

After a magnificent first full season at Sevilla in 2020/21, Youssef En-Nesyri struggled to maintain his form the following year.

But the Morocco international was back to his best last time out, scoring 18 goals in all competitions as Sevilla lifted the Europa League trophy.

Despite their success in the continent’s junior competition, the Spanish side have struggled to make the step up to the Champions League in recent years.

En-Nesyri scored twice in last season’s group stage but that was not enough for Sevilla to finish in the top two.

But the 26-year-old found the back of the net against PSV on matchday two this year and he will be Sevilla’s primary attacking threat on Tuesday too.

En-Nesyri also scored against Manchester City in the UEFA Super Cup, so he will not be fazed by the prospect of facing Arsenal.

A handful of Gunners players are available at shorter odds in the anytime goalscorer market, but the smart money is on En-Nesyri making the net bulge.
