Sevilla Preview – Can Los Nervionenses cause a big upset on home soil?
Julen Lopetegui’s Sevilla have made a dreadful start to their league season. After four games played, Sevillistas have taken just one point and languish in 16th spot. The side from Seville have drawn with Valladolid and have lost to Osasuna, Almeria and Barcelona.
Sevilla are the record winners of the UEFA Europa League, lifting the trophy an unmatched six times. The last of those successes came in 2020 when they beat Inter Milan in the final. However, they have never quite cut the mustard in the Champions League.
Sevilla have been uncharacteristically poor at the start of their league campaign, but will they fare better in Europe? As anticipated, the home team are the big underdogs, with BetVictor offering the big odds of 8/1 for a Sevilla win.
Manchester City Preview – Favourites to start with three points?
Manchester City being the pre-tournament favourites to lift the Champions League trophy is becoming a familiar theme. However, despite all their recent success, the Citizens have not been able to get hold of Europe’s top club prize, though they have gone close on one or two occasions. Can Pep Guardiola change that this season?
Man City have made a strong start to their Premier League title defence. City are second right now, winning four and drawing two of their opening six. However, they were held to a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa last time out. Also, they were beaten by Liverpool at the King Power Stadium in the FA Community Shield at the end of July.
