JAKARTA Manchester United (MU) will host Sevilla in the first leg of the 2022/2023 European League quarter-finals. Red Devils need to take advantage of their status as hosts.
The clash between the two teams will take place at Old Trafford, Manchester, England, Friday, April 14, 2023. Kick off or kick off the start of the match starts at 02.00 WIB.
The Red Devils had a good record against the Spanish teams in the European League this season. Erik ten Hag's men have been recorded as having eliminated two La Liga teams so far.
The two teams that were victims of Manchester United in the second caste between the European club were Barcelona and Real Betis. Barcelona was beaten in the playoffs, while Betis was crushed in the round of 16.
Meanwhile, Sevilla defeated Dutch representatives PSV Eindhoven in the playoffs and Turkish giant Fenerbahce in the knockout round to lock up a ticket in the quarter-finals.
The Red Devils will enter this match with a straight win at home to Brentford and Everton. In those two wins they also managed to record a clean sheet.
The result made MU fill the final position in the top four of the English Premier League standings. They are three points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur who are in fifth position.
On the other hand, it is undeniable that 2022/2023 is a very disappointing domestic season for Sevilla. Jose Luis Mendilibar's team is currently still in 13th position in the La Liga standings.
Los Nervionenses currently collect 32 points from 28 matches or five points ahead of the relegation zone and 19 points behind Real Sociedad who are in fourth place.
Thus, their hopes are that the last four will surely disappear. They need to win this European League competition to be able to appear in the European Champions League in the 2023/2024 season.
Sevilla have won the European League six times, which is the most of the other teams in this competition. Their last success occurred in 2020.
