Krasnodar’s five away European matches in Spain have all ended in defeat, all against different teams – Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo, Sevilla, Valencia and Getafe.
Only one Russian side has ever won away at Sevilla in European competition, with CSKA Moscow winning 2-1 in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League in 2009/10.
Sevilla will be looking to go unbeaten in their first three group stage games of a UEFA Champions League campaign for the third time (currently W1 D1), most recently doing so in 2016-17 under Jorge Sampaoli.
Krasnodar have only won one of their previous eight away games across major European competitions (excl. qualifiers), suffering defeats in five of the games in this run (D2).
Including qualifiers, Sevilla are unbeaten in their last 13 home games across all European competitions (W11 D2), with their last such defeat coming in April 2018 against Bayern Munich (1-2 in a UEFA Champions League quarter-final).
