This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Sevilla at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán when the Champions League tournament arrives in town and Borussia Dortmund with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
Borussia Dortmund have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Sevilla form and stats
Sevilla was eliminated in the group stage last season in the Champions League.Sevilla have played three La Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
The Sevilla fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán: A 0-2 defeat against Atlético Madrid. Rakitić (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.51/10. Rakitić hit five key passes and had 57 successful passes (of 61 total).
Before that, Sevilla played out a La Liga draw 1-1 when visiting Villarreal.The match schedule is unforgiving for Sevilla as they have a new game in only three days, a La Liga match thankfully also at home. Athletic Club are visiting.
The lack of attacking qualities in Sevilla means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match.
Borussia Dortmund form and stats
Borussia Dortmund was sent out of Champions League in the group stage last season.The story so far for the visiting team on their Bundesliga travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.
Two away games in a row for Borussia, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus Köln. It's a bit troubling for Borussia Dortmund that their goalie Meyer managed seven saves in the Köln match, but still could not prevent a defeat. Meunier, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.42. Meunier hit three key passes and won 8 of 13 duels.
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.After this away game Borussia Dortmund return home for a Bundesliga game against FC Bayern München. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Borussia has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 6 goals from 4 games. Borussia Dortmund's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Head to head statistics (for the last four meetings): Sevilla won one game, two matches ended with a tie and Borussia Dortmund have one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / one.
