Sevilla
This should be an easy game for sevilla, but with their form this season they may end up making a mess out of it. We all had high expectations for them in the beginning of the season. I thought they would push for the league title even harder than last season and pull of a great debut in the cl just like Villarreal 2 seasons ago, but the yellow submarines also had trouble in the league and to an even bigger extent celta vigo ended up getting relegated after getting into the champions league.
Though I think this mainly has to do with puerta’s death. I know that it has been an excuse used a lot this season, but it must have caused them a lot of mental problems. A team mate of yours dieing on the pitch
Though now I think that juande ramos needs to try and use puertas death to motivate the team. Tell them that they should realise that they have a great chance to make history and to honour it to puerta(well I think that would motivate me)
Anyways about levante. After their 3-0 loss to zaragoza last match day, levante sacked their manager Abel Resino and replaced him with the Italian Gianni De Biasi. He did well for modena between 2000-2003 leading them to serie A promotion and then leaving them after reaching a very good 13th position. He then subsequently trained brescia and has done well during his time at torino.
He has a really big task ahead of him and it will be a miracle if he saves levante from relegation.
Despite all Sevilla’s problems I still predict a comfortable win for them.
