Sevilla has been named “giant killers” for the way they eliminated Manchester United in the Champions League at the last round, but the Spaniards are being underrated as they actually outplayed the Red Devils over the two legs in that game. They are the minnows of this round, but they know that Bayern Munich would be a tougher opponent to play against.
Their last game against Barcelona was a good show of how stubborn they can be as they were almost running out 2-0 victors before Lionel Messi inspired Barcelona to a 2-2 draw at the very death.
They have won 3, lost 3 and drawn 2 of their last 8 games, and they have two losses at home from those games, one of which was a 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid.
Bayern Munich are one the most lethal teams in Europe at the moment and their 6-0 win over a previously undefeated Borussia Dortmund shows just how effective their attack can be on a good day. They have won 16 of their last 18 games in all competition including their 8-1 aggregate win over Besiktas in the Champions League Round of 16.
This is the first meeting between these two sides in Europe.
