The Old Lady qualified for this semis thanks to a 2-1 aggregate win over Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon in the previous round. They welcome the Spanish side Sevilla on the back of a massive 2-0 win over Atalanta that kept them firmly planted inside Serie A&#8217;s top four. That win ended their poor away form over the previous month and would have given them the confidence boost they needed ahead of this tie.&nbsp; Read more: AC Milan vs Inter Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction&nbsp; Meanwhile, after that win at the weekend, manager Max Allegri declared that his players are &#8220;mentally good&#8221; ahead of this visit from a Sevilla side they last met in the 2016\/17 UCL group stage.&nbsp; Having not tasted defeat in this edition of the Europa League (W4, D2) despite a series of cagey affairs that averaged less than two goals per game., they will fancy their chances of winning here. Furthermore, the fact that they have never lost a UEL home fixture (W7, D7) will also boost their morale.&nbsp; Meanwhile, Sevilla travel to the Allianz Stadium in good spirits after returning to winning ways in their last outing.&nbsp; The Andalusian club suffered their first defeat under new manager&nbsp; Jos\u00e9 Luis Mendilibar two weeks ago when Girona beat them 2-0 at home. But they bounced back in style at the weekend to all but seal their La Liga status with a 3-2 win over Espanyol 3-2. So Mendilibar will be hoping his side can produce another magical performance this Thursday at Turin. The Spanish tactician made his UEL managerial debut in Sevilla&#8217;s 5-2 aggregate quarter-final win over Manchester United. He will look to secure another win in Sevilla&#8217;s 50th match in the UEL&#8217;s knockout phase. The 622-year-old claims that his next opponent Juventus are &#8220;stronger&#8221; and &#8220;more challenging&#8221; than the Red Devils, but he&#8217;ll fancy his team&#8217;s chances of winning after five wins from their last six competitive outings (L1).&nbsp; However, Sevilla&#8217;s away form might worry even the most optimistic fans. The Andalusians haven&#8217;t won any of their last six knockout round-away legs (in two-leg ties) played at an opposition venue (D2, L4). Meanwhile, all but two of Sevilla&#8217;s ten UEL matches since the start of 2021\/22 saw only the winning team score. So we will likely see a low-scoring affair of under 2.5 goals.&nbsp;"}
