Manchester City to visit Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Stadium for the first round of Group G of the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Sevilla lost 3-0 to Barcelona at home in the last match for La Liga. The home team play their first match in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with the intention of taking advantage of the home factor to have a positive result.
Sevilla is a stronger team when they play at their stadium, as in the last 30 matches they have recorded 1 win, 8 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in their stadium.
In the last 10 home matches for all competitions, Sevilla has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their strong point, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their attack has scored regularly, having scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games.
Pep Guardiola’s side start another season in search of the unprecedented title of the competition. They come into this match after a draw, 1-1, on the trip to Aston Villa: the team’s only goal was scored by Erling Haaland.
It should be noted that the English reach this group stage of the Champions League after winning in the Premier League 21/22.
City’s main signing Erling Haaland for the season has great expectations in this Tuesday night Champions League. The forward has already scored 10 goals in six Premier League games and is the team’s hope for goals in the group stage of the competition.
Prediction: Manchester City is a favourite team to beat Sevilla 2-1
