The Spanish side have lost three games in a row which include a Copa del Rey second leg defeat which mean they was knocked out of the Spanish cup. However, Sevilla will feel like they can get back into this tie as Dortmund does concede a lot of goals. However the Sevilla defence knows they need to perform better in the second leg as they can’t give chances away like they did in the first leg. Sevilla will be looking towards their experienced players like Jesus Navas and Ivan Rakitić to help their side during the game as these types of playing will be vital for the Spanish if they will progress in the competition.

However if they score more than three goals they will have the advantage when it comes to the away goals rule. Dortmund knows a win or draw means they will definitely progress in the competition.
