Sevilla vs Borussia Dortmund UEFA Champions League 2022-23 prediction
Sevilla’s form this season at home has been poor, losing three and drawing one of the four home games, across all competitions. However, Sevilla’s recent performances against Espanyol and Villarreal would back their claim to challenge Borussia Dortmund in this encounter.
Borussia Dortmund demonstrated their attacking talents in the first couple of games in the ongoing UEFA Champions League campaign. Despite the potential unavailability of their captain, Marco Reus, Dortmund have a potent front line and have the odds in their favour to win at Seville.
