Champions League betting and spectator preview: VfL Wolfsburg and Sevilla meet at VOLKSWAGEN ARENA to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
It's no vacation for neither VfL Wolfsburg nor Sevilla as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's quite the trip for Sevilla when visiting Wolfsburg as the cities are 2500 kilometers apart.
VfL Wolfsburg form and stats
Wolfsburg participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the play-offs.Seven points from three Bundesliga home games is a great start for VfL Wolfsburg, who are hoping to build on that form here at VOLKSWAGEN ARENA.
No payout for VfL Wolfsburg in their previous match, an away game at Hoffenheim that ended in defeat 1-3. Midfield player Maximilian Arnold got a match rating of 7.24 in that game, the max score being 10. Arnold hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Eintracht Frankfurt that ended 1-1.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Borussia M'gladbach are coming to town in three days.
Wolfsburg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. VfL Wolfsburg have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Sevilla form and stats
Sevilla's mission in Champions League last season failed in the 8th finals against Borussia Dortmund.Sevilla are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the La Liga, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses). Sevilla has drawn their two previous away games.
Sevilla go into this game after a win, the home game against Espanyol that ended 2-0. Marcos Acuña was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.85. The defender Acuña hit three key passes and won 7 of 12 duels.
A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Valencia.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sevilla manager J. Lopetegui Argote as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Granada.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Sevilla are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 1 goal away.
