Team News

Wolves will be without Daniel Podence, his yellow card against Olympiacos meaning he's suspended. Wing-back Jonny, meanwhile, will miss the rest of the competition – and very possibly the start of next season – with an ACL injury picked up in the same match.

The only concern for Sevilla is Nemanja Gudelj, who has recently tested positive for coronavirus. Apart from that, Julen Lopetegui could name the same starting eleven that beat Roma 2-0.

Predicted Lineups

Wolves (3-5-2): Patricio; Boly, Coady, Saiss; Doherty, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Neves, Vinagre; Jimenez, Jota.

Sevilla (4-3-3): Vaclik; Navas, Carlos, Kounde, Reguilon; Fernando, Jordan, Banega; Ocampos, En-Nesyri, Munir.

Recent Form

Wolves finished the Premier League season in seventh position, qualifying for next season's Europa League in a campaign that – since their Europa League qualifying campaign started – has now spanned more than a calendar year. Wolves won just two of their final six Premier League fixtures, but booked their place in the quarters with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Olympiacos on Thursday.

Sevilla finished fourth in La Liga, securing Champions League football for the 2020/21 season. Lopetegui's side finished unbeaten in their final six league games, and beat Roma 2-0 on Thursday night to book their flight to Germany.

Prediction

This has all the ingredients of a fascinating European tie. A hungry Wolves side facing their toughest challenge in the competition against the five-time champions, who will be looking to make it six this month.

Expect a tight game, maybe even going to extra time, but Wolves have more than enough to get the job done despite Jonny's absence.
