Sevilla Preview – Can Sevilla extend winning streak?
Having won their last nine matches on the trot in all competitions, Sevilla will be in confident mood as they prepare for this 1st leg against Borussia Dortmund with the hosts looking to take a lead over to Germany ahead of the return leg.
Sevilla finished runners-up to Group E winners, Chelsea, in what was a pretty impressive group campaign which saw Sevilla pick up wins against Rennes and Krasnodar (winning both home and away) whilst drawing and losing to Chelsea.
In addition, four of Sevilla’s six Champions League ties also resulted in over 2.5 goals while their previous meeting against Borussia Dortmund ended in a 2-2 draw in a Europa League tie back in December 2010.
Borussia Dortmund Preview – Can Dortmund hold their own?
Recent results overall suggest that Borussia Dortmund may have their work cut out against their in-form Spanish hosts on Wednesday night in this 1st leg clash in Sevilla as the visitors have collected just two wins out of their last seven matches in all competitions.
Both of these wins were achieved on home turf at their Signal-Iduna-Park with victories over Augsburg 3-1 in the Bundesliga and a 3-2 win in extra-time over Paderborn in the DFB Pokal, but defeats to Bayer Leverkusen, M’gladbach and Freiburg during this period sees Dortmund far from being guaranteed an easy ride in Spain tonight.
However, Dortmund won two of their three away ties in the group stages of this season’s Champions League campaign, while all three away ties resulted in over 2.5 goals as well.
