Sevilla FC vs Shakhtar Donetk
(Uefa Cup, 1945 GMT)
Sevilla are entertaining Shakhtar. In the previous round, the Spaniards have demolished Steaua, 3-0 on agregate. At the weekend, they beat Barcelona 2-1, with 10 ten on the pitch from early in the first half, and went top of La Liga.
Coach Juande Ramos has a full strength squad available for tonight's fixture. Defender David Castedo was left out of the squad, while Hinkel and Renato are nursing some minor injuries.
On the other side, Mircea Lucescu has a lot of concerns to deal with. Captain Tymoschuk left the team. He was traded to Zenit St Petersburg for about $15M. Also, Polish centre back Lewandowski and Romanian striker Ciprian Marica are suspended for this one.
I am backing Sevilla with 6000 units to edge this encounter, at 1/2.
