Sevilla vs Wolfsburg Prediction
Sevilla have done well under the management of Julen Lopetegui so far. However, they have been disappointing in the Champions League this season, and are bottom in their group. They are yet to win a game in the competition this season. Given that Sevilla are better known for their Europa League achievements, they will be keen to at least finish 3rd in the group stages.
Wolfsburg, on the other hand, are currently 3rd in the group. They have some exciting players like Wout Weghorst, Lukas Nmecha and Ridle Baku, who are all capable of causing problems to the opposition.
Sevilla could edge past Wolfsburg here.
Prediction: Sevilla 1-0 Wolfsburg
