Previous meetings • The sides were drawn together in the same UEFA Europa League section in 2018/19, Krasnodar winning 2-1 in Russia thanks to strikes in the final 20 minutes from Mauricio Pereyra and, two minutes from time, Tornike Okriashvili after Charles Kaboré's first-half own goal had put Sevilla in front. • The Spanish side turned the tables in Spain, Wissam Ben Yedder scoring twice and Éver Banega once in a 3-0 Matchday 6 win that meant Sevilla won the section from Krasnodar on head-to-head record after both sides had finished with 12 points. Both clubs would go out in the round of 16. Form guide Sevilla • This is Sevilla's sixth UEFA Champions League group stage campaign, and a first since 2017/18, when they reached the quarter-finals. They have qualified for the knockout phase in all but one of the previous five participations. • Julen Lopetegui's side won the UEFA Europa League in 2019/20, beating Internazionale 3-2 in the final. It was the club's record-extending sixth triumph in the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, all since 2006. • Sevilla finished first in their UEFA Europa League group last season with 15 points having won all but one of their matches, then ousted CFR Cluj on away goals in the round of 32 (1-1 a, 0-0 h) before wins in one-off ties in Germany against Roma (2-0), Wolves (1-0), Manchester United (2-1) and Inter. • Fourth in Spain in 2019/20, Sevilla won their section in each of their first two UEFA Champions League campaigns and, after finishing third in 2015/16 – when they went on to complete a hat-trick of UEFA Europa League wins – they have been group runners-up in their two most recent seasons in the competition. • In September, Sevilla lost 2-1 after extra time to European champions Bayern München in the UEFA Super Cup in Budapest. It was their fifth defeat in the match in six appearances. • The defeat by Bayern was just Sevilla's fifth loss in their last 32 European matches (W22 D5). • Sevilla have won 17 of their 32 matches in the UEFA Champions League group stage, losing eight. • The Andalusian side are unbeaten in 13 home European matches (W11 D2), since a 2-1 loss to Bayern in the 2017/18 quarter-final first leg – their last UEFA Champions League fixture at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán before Matchday 2. • The defeat of Rennes was Sevilla's first win in four home UEFA Champions League matches (D2 L1). • That 2018 defeat of Krasnodar made it six wins from Sevilla's seven home matches against Russian visitors, the exception a 2-1 loss against CSKA Moskva in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg (2-3 aggregate). • That was Sevilla's only defeat against a Russian club, home and away, until their last away game in the country, a 5- 1 loss at Spartak Moskva on Matchday 3 of the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League that remains their heaviest defeat in the competition; they beat Spartak 2-1 in Spain. Krasnodar • Krasnodar are the seventh Russian club to compete in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and the first newcomers from the country since Rostov in 2016/17. • This is only Krasnodar's seventh season in UEFA competition – they have featured every year since making their debut in the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League. In 2019/20, they were eliminated by Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League play-offs and went on to finish third in their UEFA Europa League section behind Basel and Getafe, picking up nine points from their six matches (W3 L3).
