Sevilla Manchester United match preview

In the last match of the Champions League round of 16 Spanish Sevilla will face team that won the most titles in England, Manchester United, which plays very variably lately. Despite all that, the Red Devils still occupy the second place in the Premier League table, while Sevilla is currently 5th in La Liga. Let’s add that this will be their first ever head-to-head in European competitions.

Sevilla

This match comes for the Andalusians after the latest series of three wins, two in the league and one in the Cup over Leganes, which qualified them for the great final where will face Barcelona. Regarding La Liga, Sevilla currently occupies the fifth place in the table and has even six points fewer than 4th-placed Real Madrid, while on the other hand 6th-placed Villarreal has just one point fewer than they.

Regarding their results made in the group phase of the Champions League, Sevilla had ended up at the second place, right behind Liverpool, and was expectedly better than Spartak Moscow and Slovenian Maribor. Out of six matches of the group phase the Andalusians won two, drew three and lost just one. It should be added that due to injuries this duel with the United will skip defender Kjaer and Corchia, while not full ready are midfielder Banega and forwards Correa, Nolito and Muriel, while defender Layun is suspended.

Probable lineups FC Sevilla: Rico – Navas, Mercado, Lenglet, Escudero – N'Zonzi, Pizarro – Sarabia, Vazquez, Ramirez – Ben Yedder

Manchester United

Unlike the Andalusians who are in very good mood ahead of the 1st leg of the Champions League round of 16, the Red Devils from Manchester have a fair deal of problems with their form recently. They won just one match, against Huddersfield at home, out of previous three played in the league; and lost away to Tottenham and Newcastle, so their backlog behind leading Manchester City has increased to even 16 points.

However, that is not the worst thing for manager Mourinho players but fact that their advantage over next teams in the table has significantly diminished, and right now Liverpool has two points fewer, Chelsea three and Tottenham just four. In the meantime the United reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Manchester United did a routine job in the group phase of Champions League where it had ended at the first place in the group. Let’s add that due to injuries still out of action are defender Blind, midfielders Fellaini and Herrera, and forwards Rashford and Ibrahimovic.

Probable lineups Manchester United: de Gea – Valencia, Bailly, Smalling, Young – Matic, Pogba – Mata, Lingard, Sanchez – Lukaku

Verdict:

This is definitely one of most ungrateful matches of the Champions League round of 16 for forecast, given that both teams are very prone to oscillations in their performances. Given fact that manager of the visiting team, Mourinho, is known that he always plays away matches less offensively than those at home, we have decided to play here on fewer goals.
