Sevilla take on the visitors Manchester United at “Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan” in the first-leg fight of the 1/8 final stage of the UEFA Champions League. The game will be played in Seville on Wednesday, February 21st.
Sevilla do not amaze with their performance in this season. At the moment the side is sitting on the fifth place in the LaLiga standings with 39 points taken after 24 encounters played. As for the UEFA Champions League, “Los Nervionenses” managed to promote to the Play Offs only because Spartak Moscow had shown even more inconsistent play than the Spaniards. The team neither scores much nor concedes a load in this season’s LaLiga, recording 31-35 goal difference there. It should be mentioned that seven out of 15 latest fights with Sevilla’s participation have been finished with under 2.5 scored goals.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are a typical Jose Mourinho’s side which pays great attention to defense and shows impressive effectiveness in attack by converting limited number of attempts into goals. For example, last Saturday “The Red Devils” celebrated 2:0 victory over Huddersfield in the FA Cup, having created only five scoring opportunities while their opponent had converted none of 19th chances. It should be noted that the club has conceded only 19 goals in the Premier League which is the best result in this season so far, having scored 51 goals instead. Besides, under 2.5 goals were scored in nine out of 15 recent clashes with the team’s participation.
Taking into consideration the rivals’ results in this season as well as the visitors’ upcoming tough schedule in form of two back-to-back tackles against Chelsea and Liverpool, I believe that a quite boring game will take place in Seville on Wednesday night.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
