MAN UNITED are hot favourites to reach the last eight of the Champions League but can't take Sevilla lightly tonight.

Jose Mourinho's men are no bigger than 4-9 with Sky Bet to qualify while the Spaniards are 9-4 at McBookie.

Sevilla changed manager just before Christmas and after a difficult start Vincenzo Montella has won three in a row and led his men to the Spanish Cup Final.

The Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan will be rocking and Mourinho would probably settle for a draw and try to finish the tie at Old Trafford.

A stalemate in Spain pays 12-5 at William Hill while United are 13-8 with Betfred to win. Sevilla are a best 21-10 at Betway.

Stats say Romelu Lukaku doesn't score against the best teams but Alexis Sanchez does. That's why Mourinho bought him and he is 5-2 at Paddy Power to score.

Tonight's other tie sees Roma travel to Ukraine to face a Shakktar Donetsk side who returned from their winter break at the weekend to win 5-0 away to Odessa.

Shakhtar won all of their group games, including defeats of Man City and Napoli, and managed to hold on to all of their stars in the transfer window.

This will be a tight affair and while Roma are hot favourites to qualify at 8-15 with McBookie they could lose narrowly tonight.

A home win pays 13-8 with William Hill and I'll be on Shahktar not to lose at 4-9 with bet365.

All one of Shakhtar's six Champions League games have totalled at least two goals as have 18 of their 20 games this season.

They have kept just one clean sheet in their last 13 so it's unlikely to be 1-0. Back over 2.5 match goals at 21-20 with McBookie and if you believe in Shakhtar consider the Ukrainians and over 2.5 goals at 3-1 with Coral.

Facundo Ferreira is top scorer in Ukraine with 15 and returned to action at the weekend with a double. He is 21-10 at Paddy Power to net.
