Matchday 6 of the UEFA Champions League sees Manchester City host Sevilla on Wednesday, with Pep Guardiola’s side guaranteed to finish top of Group G.
Man City find themselves three points clear of second-place Borussia Dortmund and have already secured top spot thanks to their head-to-head record against the German side.
Meanwhile, Sevilla sit third – three points behind Dortmund and three points clear of Copenhagen. The best they can hope for is Europa League football.
Man City remain unbeaten in the Champions League this season, having claimed three wins and two draws.
Guardiola’s men have conceded just one UCL goal this term while scoring 11 in reply, meaning they have scored at a rate of 2.2 goals per game.
It is also worth noting that Man City have only lost one of their 12 Premier League games this season, winning five of their previous six.
Since the Community Shield back in July, the Cityzens have suffered a solitary defeat in 17 competitive clashes. Can they enhance that record on Wednesday?
As for Sevilla, they have only managed to win one of their five Champions League games this season – recording two draws and two losses.
The Spainards failed to win any of their opening four UCL games before claiming an impressive 3-0 victory over Copenhagen last week.
To make matters worse for Sevilla, they have won just two of their 12 La Liga games this term – registering four draws and six defeats.
Having only managed to win two of their previous 11 matches across all competitions, Sevilla are bound to find life difficult against Man City.
Head-to-head: Man City and Sevilla have faced each other on three occasions in the Champions League, with the English side claiming three wins.
Back in 2015, City beat Sevilla 2-1 and home before claiming a 3-1 victory in Spain. Earlier this season, Guardiola’s men hammered Sevilla 4-0.
Team news: Man City striker Erling Haaland is a doubt for Wednesday’s clash after missing last weekend’s game. Kyle Walker, Kalvin Phillips and Cole Palmer are all out.
Sevilla have a number of notable absentees, too, including Tecatito, Fernando, Tanguy Nianzou and Youssef En-Nesyri.
Even if Haaland misses Wednesday’s clash due to injury, Man City should have more than enough firepower to get the better of Sevilla.
With that in mind, Forebet predicts that Man City will seal a high-scoring win against Sevilla – netting over 2.5 goals while keeping a clean sheet.
