UEFA Champions League: Wolfsburg vs. Sevilla Preview, Odds, Prediction

Wolfsburg and Sevilla are about to have one very interesting match in UEFA Champions League Group G. All four teams here have one point following the opening matches, and we might say that this indicates a very dramatic competition in this assembly. The hosts suffered a loss during the weekend in the domestic championship while Sevilla continued its positive streak. The result here will have a massive impact on the rest of the campaign, and we are more than sure that the tension in both units is reaching its peak.

Preview

Wolfsburg (+190) lost after seven games, and this defeat came in Hoffenheim, 3-1. To be honest, we’ve expected to see a close match and maybe even knew that the Wolves will have a big challenge against Hoffenheim. Yet a collapse following an opener, during which hosts netted three times, is very surprising.

The Germans are without a win in three straight now because their previous two games ended with draws, against Lille in the UCL and against Eintracht Frankfurt in Bundesliga.

So far, we’ve seen them playing four times at home, posting two wins and draws each, with three of those games ending with under 2.5 goals and both teams not to score.

Sevilla (+150) is still without a loss, improving its form in the recent few weeks. Rojoblancos had three consecutive draws, after which they recorded two La Liga wins in three days, both at home. The respective opponents were Valencia and Espanyol, and the combined goal difference during this short stint was 5-1.

Predominantly, all their games don’t see high efficiency, but that is something usual for the most successful team in the UEFA Europa League history. Sevilla plays very calculated and tactical football; therefore, goals aren’t frequent.

Only two of their seven matches this year were with over 2.5 goals, and four were with both teams not to score. But as said, that is the way Sevilla plays and has been for a long time.

Latest News

John Brooks is suspended for the home team, due to a red card in Lille. William, Schlager, Bialek, and Paulo Otavio are out due to respective injuries.

On the other side, Sevilla is coming with all the players at disposal for their head coach Julen Lopetegui.

Prediction

The situation in Group G forces all the teams to be very cautious at the moment. Yet, Wolfsburg needs to win here and capitalize that one point earned on the road against Lille. Meanwhile, the Spaniards need to cover up a slip against Salzburg at home, and all that will bring certain tension on the field. In our opinion, the guests are closer to the victory, and even though it is risky, our proposition here would be to bet on them. After carefully watching the respective matches of these teams in the past few weeks, it seems that the Wolves are slowing down and that was obvious this weekend. O the other side, Sevilla looks pretty confident.

Pick: Sevilla wins +150
