Team news
Daniel Podence will miss the game through suspension after accumulating a third yellow card against Olympiacos. His replacement could be Diogo Jota, or Nuno could pack the midfield with an extra body in Leander Dendoncker. Jonny has suffered knee ligament damage and will be out for six months, meaning Ruben Vinagre will come in.
Nemanja Gudelj tested positive for Covid-19 last month and is set to miss out here.
Predicted line-ups
Wolves: Rui Patrício; Boly, Coady, Saïss; Doherty, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Neves, Vinagre; Traoré, Jiménez
Sevilla: Bono, Navas, Kounde, Carlos, Reguilon, Jordan, Fernando, Banega, Suso, En-Nesyri, Ocampos
Odds
Wolves – 13/5
Draw – 23/10
Sevilla – 21/20
Prediction
Sevilla have more experience at this level, but Nuno’s Wolves are very capable of going all the way and the Spanish side represent the toughest possible test. Julen Lopetegui up against the Portuguese boss represents a fascinating battle, which is where this game is likely to be won. Podence will be a big loss for the Premier League side, but we’ll lean towards the upset here with their discipline and physicality blending well with several match-winners, such as Traore, Neves or Jimenez, capable of producing a moment of magic. 2-1 Wolves.
