Champions League FC SEVILLE – BAYERN MUNICH
Both teams are aiming for a place in the last four of the competition. No benefit in terms of motivation
State of form
2nd in their Champions League group behind Liverpool, Sevilla FC have signed the feat of the round of 16 by leaving Manchester United, thanks to a return leg won on the field of Old Trafford (0-2). Beaten at Leganes before the truce (2-1), Vicenzo Montella players are still fighting with Villarreal to hang the 5th place in the standings. Last weekend, they thought for a long time win at home against Barcelona but 2 goals conceded late in the game (after the return to play by Leo Messi) have ruined their hopes (2-2).
Large Bundesliga leader, far ahead of Schalke 04 and Dortmund, Bayern Munich will be crowned champion in the coming days. In C1, Franck Ribéry’s team-mates also came second in their group, ahead of PSG, but they easily beat the Besiktas Turks in the round of 16 (wins 5-0 and 1-3). Last weekend, Juup Heynckes’ men gave a recital to their fans by crushing Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena (6-0). Bayern Munich advantage over form
The staff for FC SÉVILLE – BAYERN MUNICH
Sevilla will be only deprived of his suspended Argentine midfielder Banega, and without his winter rookie Miguel Layun (non-qualified). Author of a double in the den of Manchester United in the previous round, Ben Yedder is the second best scorer in the Champions League with 8 achievements and should find a place holder at the expense of Muriel. Uncertainties weigh on the physical condition of Mercado and Corchia behind, which should give us a Navas-Kjaer-Lenglet-Escudero defense.
Bayern should always do without his holders Neuer and Kingsley Coman, injured. In great shape, Lewandowski scored a superb hat-trick against Dortmund. Bayern advantage on paper
Prediction FC SEVILLE – BAYERN MUNICH
A big step above Seville, Bayern should win in Andalusia. Victory Bayern
