On Wednesday night, Sevilla and Lens kick off their Champions League Group B campaigns, with both teams looking to start the competition with a win.

Sevilla

The Andalusians received a massive boost last time out, as they recorded a 1-0 home win over Las Palmas. The victory ended a run of three straight league defeats in La Liga and a winless run of four games in all competitions this season.

Another positive for Sevilla, apart from the win, was a clean sheet, as the home team ended a run of eight competitive games without a clean sheet.

Los Nervionenses’ recent record in the Champions League is not great, as Sevilla has won just one of their previous seven games in the competition.

Their recent home record in European football’s elite competition is also underwhelming, as they have won just two of their previous eight home games in the Champions League.

Sevilla’s recent home games in the competition have at least been entertaining, as seven of their last nine matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Lens

Lens have made a poor start to their domestic campaign, like their hosts.

In fact, it may be better described as a nightmare start, as the visitors have picked up just one point from their opening five league games this season and are currently rock bottom of the Ligue One table.

This Champions League encounter may be a welcome break from their domestic woes.

It’s a competition that Lens has featured in just once in their history in season 2002/03.

They enjoyed mixed fortunes during that particular campaign, winning just two of their six matches in a group also containing Bayern Munich, Deportivo La Coruna and AC Milan.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that Sevilla will record a victory in a high-scoring clash to kick off their Champions League campaign positively.
