For the 1st matchday of the 7th group of the Champions League, Sevilla welcomes Manchester City to the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. The group is completed by Dortmund and Copenhagen.
Last year's 4th place in the Spanish league gave Sevilla the ticket to this year's Champions League groups. Having opponents – beyond the behemoth City – Dortmund and Copenhagen is expected to fight for the 2nd place that leads to the knockouts of the competition.
Its beginning anyway in the Spanish championship only optimism does not leave the Sevilla team as after 4 matches 3 defeats and 1 draw while also disappointing with her appearances. In its last match in time, it was easily defeated by Barcelona 3-0, a result that increased the grumbling towards the coach of the team, Lopetegui, who is very strongly disputed.
They are last year's Premier League champions and of course could not be missing from the groups of the top club competition. City have been pushed out of the big-eared cup for many years, last year they reached the final and lost to Chelsea, last year they were knocked out by Real in the semi-finals and they hope this year will be their year.
In this year's Premier League, the big favorite appears again this year for the title, last Saturday however it had its first loss of points as it was tied 1-1 in Birmingham against Aston Villa. At the end of the 6th matchday, Guardila's team was in 2nd place with 14 points and minus 1 from the first Arsenal.
Sevilla are off to the worst start in their history in the Spanish league and when they struggle to win at home they will find it difficult to come up against City's team tonight. A City that, with the addition of the player Haaland, has increased tremendously in quality, being one of the most complete teams in Europe, even if defensively at the moment it has its issues. Of course, the English team is the favorite, but their winning odds are not worth it, I think we will see a match with many phases and goals in both halves.
Tip: Sevilla – Manchester City Over 1,5 first leg & Over 3,5 overall with odds 3.40
