Julen Lopetegui brought the Sevillians back to the elite of European football, winning the prestigious Europa League along the way. In the local arena, Sevilla fights with the main grandees for a place on the prize podium. Now the team is going on a streak of victories that allow it to be competitive on all fronts, where it is directly involved. The team recently celebrated a confident victory over Barcelona in the Spanish Cup (2:0). Under the leadership of Lopetegui, many players began to progress, namely, Ocampos, Kounde, Bono, Diego Carlos, and En-Nesyri. In winter, Sevilla strengthened its attacking line with the purchase of the ex-leader of Atalanta, Papu Gomez. Rakitic, Jesus Navas, and Suso are holding a good season.

The leadership of Borussia Dortmund could not stand the volatility of the team's results under Favre. The experienced mentor was replaced by the little-known Edin Terzic, who has not yet managed to improve the team's performance. His Borussia Dortmund lost three times in the last five official matches. And you shouldn't be surprised at its 6th place in the Bundesliga standings. Borussia is putting serious emphasis on the Champions League, where it can show good results. Two young talents (Halland and Sancho) stand out in the team. These guys are capable of single-handedly leading the Yellow-Blacks to great tournament results. Dortmund's roster looks strong, but not all players are in optimal shape. In the current championship, more was expected from such performers as Hazard, Bellingham, Reina, and Can.
The Spanish club is in great shape. It goes on a long streak of victories and vies for high results in the Champions League. Borussia can rely on the individual talent of its young stars who are capable of causing problems to any opponent. Nevertheless, Lopetegui's players are well organized and can get a positive result at their native stadium.
Prediction for the match: Sevilla to win with 0.0 handicap
