Wolfsburg’s unbeaten start to the season was stopped in their last game as they lost 3-1 away at Hoffenheim. The cracks are there to see on the German side and they head to their Group G home game against Sevilla having won none of their last three matches. All the teams in this group have one point, making it a really tight one. While they have their first loss of the season, Wolfsburg remain a good side defensively; they head to this game with three clean sheets out of five. Four of the German side’s last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals. They aim to make their return to the Champions League fruitful after five years out and here they will be looking to end the run of two straight games in the competition without a goal. Wolfsburg opened their campaign with a 0-0 draw away at Lille and this will be their first home game in the Champions League since 2016.

Sevilla are yet to taste defeat this season, in the seven matches they’ve played. They have enjoyed home comforts in their last two matches, and won both, making it four wins in seven this season. The two straight wins are a recovery from three straight draws. The most recent, a 2-0 win over Espanyol makes it two clean sheets in their last five matches, while both teams have scored in three of their last five. The Spaniards drew 1-1 with Salzburg in their opening game of this group, and have no clean sheet in the last seven Champions League matches. In the last five Champions League matches, Sevilla have managed just one win and both teams have scored in six of their last seven. Away from home, Sevilla are unbeaten in their last seven matches in Champions League, with three wins in there and they have just two clean sheets in the last 10 away matches in the competition.
