Europa League Final Betting Tips: Can Inter Milan beat specialists Sevilla?

In recent years, Sevilla have become the Europa League specialists. They’ve won the tournament on each of their five previous final appearances.

They come into this year’s decider on the back of the longest unbeaten run across all competitions in the club’s history, winning 11 and drawing nine of their last 20 matches.

Their form is down to manager Julen Lopetegui, who encourages his side to play out from the back with no fear. Jules Koundé and Diego Carlos have been solid at the heart of the Sevilla back four, while having a keen eye for an attacking pass too.

Former Manchester City man Jesus Navas has reverted to the role of right-back for the Spanish side, and the instinct of defending appears to come to him naturally.

As for the on-loan Sergio Reguilón on the left, his perfect balance of attacking threat and defensive awareness shows just why he’s linked with so many of Europe’s top clubs this summer.

But they’ll face a totally different prospect against Inter Milan, with former Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku having the season of his career.

The Belgian has scored 33 goals in all competitions this season, the most by an Inter player since Samuel Eto’o in the 2010/11 campaign. Those 33 goals include six in the competition so far, despite only playing 353 minutes.

He’s formed a formidable partnership up front with Lautaro Martinez, with the Argentinian adding 27 goals in all competitions of his own to their tally.

The Milan giants have won all five of their Europa League games so far this campaign, after finishing behind Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League group.

Both Lopetegui and Inter Milan head coach Antonio Conte are managing in their first major UEFA finals. Conte has a 77%-win percentage in his 13 Europa League games managed so far, with Lopetegui managing a 73%-win ratio from 11 matches.

Sevilla and Inter have both already qualified for next season’s Champions League through their league positions, so with just the silverware on the line, will it be Conte or Lopetegui that manages to guide their team to Europa League glory at the first time of trying?
