After a dominant performance in the first meeting, Borussia Dortmund return home for the reverse fixture against Sevilla in Group G of the UEFA Champions League.
Borussia Dortmund were rampant in the first meeting with Sevilla and ran out 4-1 winners. Raphael Guerrero, Jude Bellingham and Karim Adeyemi gave them a three-goal lead at the break while Julian Brandt added the fourth in the second half.
Having claimed two wins from three matches in Group G, the Germans look well on course to progress to the knockout stage. A win on Tuesday’s clash could see Edin Terzic’s men qualify for the round of 16 with two games to spare.
One thing that will give Dortmund confidence ahead of the visit of Sevilla is their solid record at the Signal Iduna Park. They have won three of their last four home matches and showed great character to fight back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich Last Saturday.
Sevilla are enduring a difficult campaign as they are struggling to find their rhythm both at home and in Europe. They have only claimed one win across all competitions this season and are near the bottom of La Liga and on the verge of crashing out of the Champions League.
That poor run led to the sacking of manager Julen Lopetegui following the defeat in the meeting with Dortmund. Jorge Sampaoli is the new man at the helm and led the team to a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao in his first match in charge last Saturday.
Sevilla have also struggled on their travels this session, with one away win across all competitions so far. They played out a 1-1 draw with Villarreal in their previous fixture on the road.
