Juventus' performance against Sporting wasn't impressive at all. It was a really competitive matchup about the score maybe but I didn't like Juventus in any legs. I don't know if they can apply the same game plan against Sevilla as well. Considering that Sevilla are the most dominant team of the Europa League for years it will be really hard.
I agree with you. It cannot be said that Juventus' performance against Sporting was very good. Sporting played well enough. Sporting's performance was even better than Juventus's in the second leg. Juventus were able to qualify for the semi-finals due to being an experienced team. There is no way to call the Sevilla team weak. The Sevilla team had a great performance against Manchester United. And if they can put up a similar performance against Juventus then I think Sevilla will be able to qualify for the final.
Sporting played well against Juventus, it's just that maybe they weren't too lucky to qualify for the semifinals. But overall they played well and if they can go through they deserve it in my opinion. Now that all has passed and the opponents they will be facing are already in these semifinals, so they better focus on the matches that are coming up.
Juventus are not in good form now. They have lost their last three matches in Serie A. Yesterday they lost against Napoli in the last match. Also, they can't play well in Europa League matches. Juventus need to perform well in Serie A as they look to qualify for the Champions League. However, if they perform like this, they will not be able to win the Europa League title. I think Sevilla is currently the favourite to win the Europa League this season as well. Sevilla is the most likely to win the title.
2 of the 3 matches they had were quite tough and indeed we know that even when they faced Lazio they lost but their struggle in that match was very good and facing Napoli it is very likely that they will lose and it has been proven.
Now on the other hand, after Sevilla managed to beat Manchester United, at this time they really have a slightly different performance.
Talking about favorites, I think, in this case, it's a little complicated because everyone has considerations, especially with Sevilla's condition, which is now different, but what is certain is that everyone now has the same opportunity and my hope is still Juventus.
Talking about the Sevilla team, this team is doing a great performance in this season compared to the previous seasons. In some matches against Manchester United, this team has been able to perform extremely well. Although they have lost some matches in comparison, the team still tried their best to prove their ability in those matches. If the Sevilla team continues to perform like this, hopefully this team will become one of the best teams in a few seasons.
