Match preview
Manchester City are already into the knockout stages of the Champions League after drawing 0-0 with Borussia Dortmund last week as the Premier League champions play hosts to a Sevilla side eyeing up the Europa League as they sit comfortably ahead of fourth-placed Copenhagen.
The head-to-head record for Sevilla does mean they are likely to get into the Europa League ahead of the Danish side, as long as Dortmund don’t fall to a defeat to Copenhagen at the same time of this game. Regardless, some fans of Sevilla may be delighted with them heading into the Europa League, given how no side this century has dominated that competition as impressively as they have.
At the Etihad, they are likely to lose, however, especially after another loss in La Liga sent them into the relegation zone. Rayo Vallecano defeated them last time out on home soil, which does now mean Sevilla sit with just two wins in the league, 19 goals conceded and six losses on the board. In fact, their superior goals difference record over 19th-placed Cadiz is all that keeps them ahead of 19th right now.
City have strolled into the knockout rounds once more, registering a 5-0 win over Copenhagen at home, a 4-0 victory over Sevilla in Spain, before defeating Dortmund in Manchester when Erling Haaland got the winner against his old side. A 0-0 draw did come against Dortmund last time out, while they also drew by this scoreline in Denmark too.
Nevertheless, anything but a comfortable City victory would be a huge upset, given how City have scored 37 goals in the league and won seven more games on the domestic front than Sevilla already.
