The upcoming October is going to be full of high voltage fixtures for the Sevilla fans. The most successful club in the UEFA Europa League history will be looking to grab their 6th UEL trophy. The former UEL champions are definitely going to have a busy October. Firstly, their month will begin with the clash against Apoel Nicosia. But just a few days later they will have to travel to the Catalan capital to take on league champions FC Barcelona. Their Barca encounter will be followed by the Levante clash just after the international break. Then the Nervionenses will welcome the Frogs in a match week 09 fixture at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. But the story doesn’t end here as the 5 time winners will have to face Dudelange in their next European fixture within the next few days.
On the other hand, Levante UD will have no such pressure. They will just have to continue their road journey. Because, the Frogs will travel to the Seville following their visit to the Municipal de Butarque Stadium. It will also be their 5th away fixture of the campaign as well.

Predicted Result : Sevilla 2 – 0 Levante
Match Preview : Loads of big matches will definitely put pressure on the Red and Whites. But, if I’m not lying, then it’s going to be the easiest match of the month for the Seville based club. In addition to this, back to back matches within a short period means Lopetegui needs to provide the star players some rests. Thus he may bench some of his star forwards in this clash.
Conversely, Levante will come to this fixture as the underdogs. However, they will try to secure a draw from this fixture. So, I guess, a point won’t disappoint them at all.
I’m still backing the hosts to show a dominating football display in this fixture. I also back them to keep a clean sheet. Finally, my prediction is a 2-0 victory for Sevilla.
