Borussia Dortmund vs Sevilla: Storylines
The German team did a great job in the first-leg played at Sevilla and scored three goals that were useful to get the win. Now they returnhome with a one-goal advantage, which is also important as it was on the road. Although the squad coached by Edin Terzic isn’t doing very well in the Bundesliga, they have a good lineup to pursue a good run in this Champions League.
On the other hand, Sevilla needs a quick recovery after disappointing results. After losing with Dortmund, they were also beaten by Barcelona in the league andin the Copa del Rey as well, where they’ve been kicked out, and Elche shocked them prior to this clash. It won’t be easy, but the difference isn’t enormous and the Spanish side havea chance to turn around things.
The only time these two have faced in Signal Iduna Park was in 2010, when the visitors won by 1-0 in UEFA Europa League‘s group stage. However, the hosts have been strong at home as they didn’t lose in their last seven games there for this tournament, with five triumphs and two ties. Moreover, they lost just once from the last 18 times they played at their venue.
