Sevilla will play a prestigious friendly on December 11 in what will be one of the level tests as a prelude to the league return after the World Cup. The Nervionense team will face Benfica in the Algarve, as confirmed by the coach of the Portuguese team, Roger Schmidt, at a press conference. In this way, Jorge Sampaoli’s team will have a weighty stone on which to measure his aspirations for improvement.
The Sevilla team has already returned to work after a few days of vacation and the spotlight is on turning around the current situation in the League, in which it is in the relegation zone. To refine their preparation, there will be more than one friendly, although for the moment more is unknown about this period of duels that will serve to gauge the state of Sampaoli’s squad.
Benfica was almost untouchable so far in the campaign. He achieved a firm passport to the next round of the Champions League and in his League he leads a very different lead compared to his enemies. The friendly will serve both teams to recover sensations while also waiting for the handful of internationals they currently have in the World Cup in Qatar to rejoin.
