Preview
Sevilla are heading into their third consecutive UEFA Champions League group stage game with just one point in La Liga so far.
This is not the form the origin coach would like to bring to this competition, as despite being the most successful team in UEFA Cup/Europa League history, they will immediately face a major challenge in the big leagues.
A (3-0) loss to Barcelona last weekend disappointed Sevil, but it was also the first time they had conceded more than two goals in a competitive competition since April.
Some will wonder how City haven’t won the trophy yet,” but another UCL campaign begins with the club once again becoming favorites for the trophy.
The team may be unbeatable in this Premier League campaign, but they have struggled for their away runs in this competition lately, losing three of their previous six away runs despite the form of striker Erling Haaland, who is in record form, is likely to call here is trust.
One of those away defeats came in last year’s Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, in which City conceded three goals in the 90+ minute before failing to come out (6-5) on aggregate.
It is not surprising that given this result, the Manchester club have a disappointing record against Spanish teams in this competition, failing to win 55% of their meetings.

Players to watch
The form of Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou could be key in this competition as despite finishing 2021 with the cleanest record in Europe’s top five leagues.
The away side has a striker who shows results and the Sevilla goalkeeper won’t have fond memories of City’s Haaland when the striker scored Bounou four times in 2020/21 as Borussia Dortmund knocked Sevilla out of the Champions League.
