Prediction: Sevilla 1-2 Inter Milan

This is a really difficult contest to predict, with both sides full of confidence and in great form.

Sevilla have triumphed in eight of their last nine matches, while Inter have won five straight in European competition for the first time in a decade.

A thrilling final should await and it would not be a surprise to see this tie progress through to extra-time and penalties.

However, Inter boasting two of the continent's most in-form strikers in Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku, plus their miserly defensive record - one goal conceded in seven games - could well give them the edge.

Lukaku has now scored in 10 successive Europa League outings and will be eager to extend that record further when it matters most.​
