The goal, although it being far from easy, will be finishing the season having played 61 games. To do this, the team from Nervión would have to go as far as possible in both the UEFA Europa League and the Copa del Rey. It's a long campaign, but Sevilla have shown in recent years that they have the experience to cope with these sorts of circumstances.

That being said, with the half-way point in the league just around the corner, it's a good time to reflect on the season so far. Up until this point in the season, the team has played 25 games, just before they move into the short but much needed Christmas break.

Sevilla have scored 38 goals, and only conceded 17 in their 25 games

The 'Lopetegui Era' for Sevilla FC has gone 25 games now, with 18 in La Liga, six in the UEFA Europa League and one in the Copa del Rey. Overall, the facts and figures are rather clear; as in the 25 games so far, Sevilla FC have won 16 times, with four draws and five defeats thrown into the mix as well. Therefore, Sevilla have a win percentage of 64%, and an unbeaten percentage of 80%.

Sevilla have kept 13 clean sheets so far this season

As for the specific competitions, there's not much to analyse in the Copa del Rey, having only played the one game. In Europe, they topped their group with an almost perfect record, with five wins and only one defeat which took place in Nicosia. In addition, in La Liga, Sevilla have accumulated 34 points (20 of those coming away from home), with 10 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. Moreover, what is more impressive is the team's goal difference, which sits at +21: with 38 goals scored, and only 17 conceded.

Although the trouble the team have in front of goal is often talked about, the one thing that is easy to see and makes Sevilla a real force this year is the balance that the team has. The thing that makes this team different from ones of previous years is the defence. In these first 25 games, they have kept 13 clean sheets - more than half of the games.
