3 Match background Sevilla FC mounted one of the UEFA Champions League's most remarkable comebacks on matchday five, and that has put them within sight of a place in the round of 16 as they conclude their Group E campaign at NK Maribor. The Spanish side came from three goals down at half-time to salvage a 3-3 draw at home to Liverpool FC on 21 November, and now have eight points one less than the English team but two more than third-placed FC Spartak Moskva. Sevilla will therefore qualify with a draw, or if Spartak fail to win at Liverpool. The Andalusians will also clinch first place if they win and Liverpool do not. Maribor, who have two points and lost 3-0 in Spain on matchday two, will finish fourth. Previous meetings These clubs were paired together in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League round of 32 a campaign that would end with Sevilla holding the trophy aloft, the first of their record three straight triumphs in the competition. The first leg in Slovenia finished 2-2, Marcos Tavares giving the hosts a 33rd-minute lead. Kevin Gameiro (47) and Federico Fazio (72) turned things around but Maribor substitute Dare Vršič levelled nine minutes from time. The line-ups at the Stadion Ljudski vrt on 20 February 2014 were: Maribor: Handanović, Filipović, Milec, Mezga (Vršič 75), Tavares, Mendy (Fajić 86), Dervišević (Cvijanovič 87), Bohar, Viler, Rajčević, Arghus. Sevilla: Varas, Carriço, Fazio, Pareja (Iborra 59), Navarro, Diogo Figueiras, Cristóforo (Trochowski 84), Rakitić, Cheryshev (Marin 40), Vitolo, Gameiro. Back in Spain, goals either side of half-time from José Antonio Reyes (42) and Gameiro (59) took Sevilla through despite another late Vršič strike (90+2). Match background Maribor The Slovenian champions have lost just one of their three home games against Spanish opposition, suffering a 3-0 defeat by Club Atlético de Madrid in the 1992/93 European Cup Winners' Cup first round first leg (1-9 aggregate). They held Villarreal CF 1-1 in a UEFA Intertoto Cup third round second leg in 2006 (2-3 aggregate). Maribor recorded their heaviest European loss in their last home match, going down 7-0 against Liverpool on matchday three. They had opened Group E with a 1-1 draw against Spartak. That Liverpool reversal halted Maribor's eight-game unbeaten home run in Europe (W5 D3). In fact, they have lost just five of their last 17 European matches, home and away (W6 D6). However, Maribor have not won any of their eight home fixtures in the UEFA Champions League proper, group stage to final (D3 L5). The Slovene outfit are in the group stage for a third time, having previously competed in 1999/2000 and 2014/15. In that latter group appearance they drew 1-1 at home to both Sporting Clube de Portugal and Chelsea, and lost 1-0 to FC Schalke 04. Maribor qualified for this season's UEFA Champions League by winning a sixth Slovenian title in seven seasons in 2016/17. They reached the group stage by overcoming HŠK Zrinjski of Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-2 on aggregate in the second qualifying round (2-1 away, 1-1 home) and Iceland's FH Hafnarfjördur in the next round (1-0 home, 1-0 away). In the play-offs they went down 2-1 at Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC in the first leg but progressed on away goals thanks to a 1-0 home success. Sevilla The Spanish side are yet to win away in Group E, and endured their heaviest UEFA Champions League defeat in losing 5-1 at Spartak on matchday three. They picked up a 2-2 draw at Liverpool in their first game. Sevilla have lost only two of their last ten away matches in UEFA competition (W3 D5): at Spartak and the 2-0 reverse at Leicester City FC in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg, which completed a 3-2 aggregate loss. Last term, Sevilla made it to the round of 16 for the first time since 2009/10 but they have never gone any further in the UEFA Champions League era. This is their fifth group stage campaign, and third in a row. Sevilla qualified by finishing fourth in the 2016/17 Spanish Liga. They beat Turkey's İstanbul Başakşehir in August's play-offs, winning the away first leg 2-1 before a 2-2 draw in southern Spain. Those 2013/14 matches against Maribor were Sevilla's only experience of Slovenian opponents before this season. 3
