After a great comeback win against Deportivo at the weekend, Sevilla are looking to stay atop of their Champions League group with a win against Juventus.

Sevilla have had a great season thus far in both European and domestic terms. In La Liga, they sit in third place with 24 points. They are just two points behind Barcelona, and have lost just two matches in league play.

The Spanish club has a huge match coming up against the Italian giants Juventus. It is the penultimate match in the group stage of the Champions League, and is sure to be a fiery affair.

Both clubs will be fighting for a big three points to secure themselves a trip to the round of 16. The two teams will have a tough time breaking each other down, but Sevilla should come out on top of this matchup.

That conclusion might surprise people, but it shouldn’t based on how the La Liga club have performed on the year. Their form, coupled with their motivation to advance, should give them just enough to overcome the Old Lady.
