Shakhtar Donetsk had a miserable end last time they took on Sevilla in UEFA club competition, but Mircea Lucescu's side are yet to lose in this season's UEFA Europa League.
After dismissing the pain in his compatriot Bilbao, Sevilla moves on Ukrainian soil. If both teams have the right to a second chance after their elimination in the Champions League, this is the opportunity for Sevilla to win a third consecutive this competition. Shakhtar, champion of the 2009 edition is not an easy prey. The Portuguese Braga in particular bore the brunt of the great European experience Moles.
Ukrainians still bitter against their cruel elimination sevillistas in 2007, are eager to take their revenge.
Shakhtar are unbeaten in Europa League where he has 5 wins in 6 games.
Seville has already tilted against the modest team of Molde face Bilbao.
Unbeaten since 1 month in all competitions, Shakhtar Donetsk is still fighting with Dynamo Kiev for the title in Ukraine and confirmed its current form.
All competitions Spaniards have lost 3 of their last 4 trips.
The sevillistas remained on a series of five games without a win before their success against Betis on Sunday. A sad month of April ....
