Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, Seville

It’s still all to play for in Group E of the Champions League with Liverpool, Sevilla and Spartak Moscow all able to still finish inside the top two and progress to the last 16 of the competition.

You would expect Spartak to bag three points against whipping boys Maribor in the next round of fixtures, which takes place on November 21. That means this game between Sevilla and Liverpool takes on added importance.

1. Team News

Sevilla will have to play without Daniel Carriço and Nico Pareja. Johannes Geis probably won't play today also.

Jurgen Klopp will have to deal without injured Joel Matip. Rest of the squad should be fit for the fixture. Few commentators expect Klopp to experiment with youngsters.

2. Sevilla v Liverpool Odds - Bookies Predictions

It’s the English side who currently top the table on eight points, but with Spartak likely to beat Maribor and also move onto eight the pressure returns to the Reds and Sevilla, who at the moment have seven points.

It’s a fascinating scenario and one which will surely result in an intriguing final two rounds of fixtures. But the question remains: who will take a huge leap forward by getting the better of this encounter?

This is a very generously priced match whichever side of the fence you choose to sit on, and that’s largely because the bookmakers don’t have a clue who is going to win!

Sevilla are the favourites thanks to their home advantage but at a lengthy price of 2.60, while Liverpool offer tantalising value at 2.80. The draw is available at 3.50.

3. Sevilla vs Liverpool Betting Tips

With the bookmakers confused as to how this match will pan out, the life of the punter is made much more difficult in predicting who will win. But at these prices, clearly fantastic value awaits if we can fathom out who will triumph!

Let’s take a look at Sevilla, firstly. It’s been a strange Champions League campaign for the Spaniards, who started very brightly with a respectable draw at Anfield followed by a 3-0 win over Maribor. The start they would have dreamt of….

But there followed the double-header of fixtures against Spartak Moscow, and here they came rather unstuck. A 1-5 hammering in Russia was followed by a fortunate 2-1 win in the reverse game, and those 180 minutes or so of football confirmed how vulnerable the Spaniards can be to pacey counter attacks.

They have also shown vulnerability in La Liga too, losing four of their last six matches. But this is a team that is excellent at home and fragile on the road: their home form in the Spanish league reads W4 D1 L0, their away W0 D2 L4!

Indeed, if you investigate Sevilla’s long-term home record you note that they have not lost in front of their own fans in nearly a year! That was to Juventus in November 2016, and since then their formline reads W17 D7 L0.

And that has to be the key narrative for punters here, because Liverpool – for all their brilliance going forward – remain fragile defensively, and Sevilla at home are far more likely to take advantage than when on the road.

It’s a tough fixture to bet on given that all three results seem possible, but logic dictates that Sevilla Draw No Bet has to be the play at 1.80.

It’s crunch time in Group E of the Champions League, with these two sides locked in a battle to top the group ahead of Spartak Moscow….and each other. But who will prevail in Spain?
