Borussia will play at home against Sevilla on Tuesday, October 11. The German club had a very good week. First, they managed to defeat Sevilla 4-1 away. Then, the club salvaged a draw against Bayern, losing by a margin of two goals. On Matchday 4, Borussia can already guarantee a play-off spot. The standings indicate that a peaceful conclusion to the group stage deadlock would be enough for the Germans. Borussia have been at their best in the Champions League so far. The German vice-champion also looked solid against Manchester City away. In many ways, the defeat was not deserved. In recent encounters, the Black-Yellows have returned to the path of a prolific team. Whereas at the beginning of the season there was an unexpected trend towards the under total, the situation has now changed. Unfortunately, Dortmund have two important personnel losses. Marco Reus and Mahmoud Daoud will not play for sure. They are two systemically important players in the central axis. Sevilla are currently seventeenth in La Liga. It is the team's worst start to the 21st century. In all matches of the new season, there is only one win. The club's management have been patient for a long time, but have failed to cope with public pressure. Julen Lopetegui was sacked after the Borussia clash. Jorge Sampaoli replaced him. The Argentine had previously worked with Sevilla. Now he has been drafted in as a rescuer. The mentor's main emphasis has always been on defence and iron discipline. Sevilla's style of play must change. It was already evident from the first match against Athletic. Sevilla didn't shy away from defending for most of the meeting. Surprisingly, it was successful. Athletic had four shots on goal, but on the whole the match was controlled by the Andalusians. Sevilla are likely to have some positive momentum in the near future after the arrival of the new coach. A big boost for the team is the arrival of central defender Marcao. The player was bought with the aim of replacing the departed defensive leaders. The reliability of the back line should improve. Borussia are rightly favoured, but the odds on Sevilla are around 6.00. That's a significant overshoot. Firstly, the hosts won't mind a draw that suits their tournament situation. Secondly, Borussia could have endurance problems. Sevilla will act in a very defensive manner. Freshness will be required to get through the defence, and Borussia spent a lot of energy against Bayern and in the first leg against Sevilla. There should be no defeat in Dortmund.
