Sevilla take on the visitors Leicester in the first leg of Champions League round of 16. The game will be played on Wednesday, February 22nd at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Sevilla).
Sevilla won’t win the Europa League this season and the trophy will go to the new owner for the first time in four years. This will happen as Sevilla finally stepped up and play in Champions League playoffs this season. The team is currently third in the standings of Primera, recording three clean sheet in last three matches and taking wins over Las Palmas, 1-0, and Eibar, 2-0, in recent league games. Sevilla show their best football in matches at own stadium, taking wins in most of their clashes at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Sampaoli’s men took 12 wins in 17 matches played at home this season, drew twice and recorded three defeats, one against Juventus and twice against Barcelona.

Leicester risk to be relegated to the Championship at the end of the season and it will be a total disaster for the team that won league title last season and finished first in the Champions League’s group stage. The Foxes played 10 matches in 2017 and managed to win only one game and getting eliminating from domestic cup competition as well. The team of Claudio Ranieri is simply hopeless in matches on the road, recording only two wins in 19 games with five draws and 12 defeats, recent three of them were without a single scored goal.
Sevilla are showing excellent results in recent games and have home-field advantage in addition to reach experience in playoff stages of eurocups. Leicester, in turn, fail to leave solid impression and don’t look like competitive side.
Prediction for the match: Sevilla to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
