Manchester City vs Sevilla: prediction for the UEFA Champions League game
On Wednesday, Manchester City will host Sevilla at the Etihad Stadium in the final game of the Champions League group stage. What to expect from the teams? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Manchester City
EnglandManchester City got into an easy group in the Champions League. Their opponents were Borussia Dortmund, Copenhagen, and Sevilla, and the champions of England were the strong favourites to win this group before the tournament started. In the first game, Pep Guardiola's men easily crushed Sevilla (4:0), and after beating Borussia (2:1) and Copenhagen (5:0), the City team secured their ticket to the playoffs.
In the following games, Manchester City recorded two goalless draws against Copenhagen and Borussia. The Sky-Blues still top the group table, three points ahead of Borussia.
Sevilla
SpainSevilla had a rough start to the season - their summer transfer campaign wasn't successful and Julen Lopetegui was fired following the team's poor performances both in the Champions League and La Liga. Sevilla lost to Manchester City (0:4) and were held to a draw by Copenhagen (0:0), which made their chances of qualifying for the last 16 very low.
Jorge Sampaoli's men lost to Borussia in Dortmund (1:4) and got a goalless draw in the reverse fixture. After that, the Spanish team couldn't finish in the top-2, but there was still a chance to qualify for the Europa League playoffs. Sevilla just needed to beat Copenhagen in the 5th match, which they did comfortably (3:0).

Tip and bets
In the last two Champions League games, Manchester City recorded two goalless draws. They probably will try to deliver a better performance at home in front of their fans. The visitors are in poor form and are no longer motivated, so we do not expect any surprises here - the City team should get a landslide victory.
Our prediction – Asian handicap (-1.5) to Manchester City
Manchester City haven't yet dropped points at home this season; they won eight home games in a row. Considering Sevilla's unreliable defensive performance and possible rotation, we recommend playing the hosts' victory by two goals.
Second bet - Manchester City to win by 2 goals
