At Sevilla he causes some respect that he will have to prepare for the Europa League round of 16 match against Roma with a three-week hiatus while his rival will be competing in Italy up to four days before the appointment.
The team of Paulo Fonseca, in addition, is in an enviable state of form, as demonstrated this Wednesday, when he thrashed 1-6 at Spal with goals from Kalinic, Bruno Peres (2), Carlos Pérez and Zaniolo, and has positioned himself and fifth in Serie A distancing Naples, which is seventh, five points.
Roma have won four of the last five meetings in Italy and came from adding a draw (2-2) with Inter, which is third. The last day in Serie A is set for August 2, just the Sunday before the appointment with Lopetegui in Duisburg, Thursday 6 at 6:55 p.m.
Sevilla, after concluding the Spanish championship, gave their players six days off, which will have two weeks from Sunday to prepare for their participation in the Europa League. On the one hand, this is a respite after months with little time to prepare for the matches, but there are also misgivings because Roma are going to be competing and also arrive at a good time.
