Match background

Krasnodar let slip a two-goal lead to lose at Sevilla last time out and are still awaiting their first UEFA Champions League win as they welcome the Spanish side to Russia. • Early goals from Magomed Suleymanov (17) and Marcus Berg (21), a penalty, put the Russian side in charge at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on 4 November and, though Ivan Rakitić halved Sevilla's deficit in the 42nd minute, the home side's hopes suffered a further setback when Jesús Navas was sent off just before the break. However, Youssef En-Nesyri climbed off the Sevilla bench to score twice in four minutes (69, 72) and snatch a memorable victory. • That kept Sevilla level with Chelsea on seven points at the top of Group E, with Krasnodar and Rennes both on one point after three games. If Sevilla prevail in Russia and Chelsea win at Rennes in Group A's other Matchday 4 encounter, both will be guaranteed a top-two finish. 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 Krasnodar • Having marked their UEFA Champions League group stage debut with a first point in the competition thanks to a 1-1 draw at Rennes, Krasnodar went on to lose 4-0 at home to Chelsea before defeat in Seville. • 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). • Third in the Russian Premier League for the second season in a row in 2019/20, Krasnodar had only played four European Cup matches before 2020/21. The first ended in a 1-0 home defeat by Porto in the 2019/20 third qualifying round first leg, only for them to then turn round the tie with a remarkable 3-2 victory in Portugal in which they led 3-0 at half-time. However, Olympiacos proved too strong for Murad Musayev's team in the play-offs, winning 4-0 in Greece and 2-1 in Russia. • Krasnodar had no such problems in this season's play-off, winning both legs of their tie against Greek club PAOK 2- 1 with Rémy Cabella scoring the winner in each game. • The Bulls have won two of their five home games against Spanish visitors (D1 L2), most recently losing 2-1 against Getafe last season. • Home and away, Krasnodar have won only two of their 11 matches against Spanish clubs, losing eight.

They have qualified for the knockout phase in all but one of the previous five participations. • '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.
