Tipster’s Angel

This is expected to be a high-scoring clash and we could see goals from both ends similar to the first leg. Both the teams are not in great form, but Dortmund have an edge in this fixture by considering the home advantage.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.51

These two teams have played three matches against each other and both the teams scored in two of those matches. In the first leg, Sevilla opened the scoring in the first half and was followed by three goals by Dortmund in the first half itself. The match ended 2-3 in favor of Dortmund courtesy of a late second half goal by Luuk de Jong. Both teams scored in all the last three matches that Dortmund played in the Champions League. Even, both teams scored in three of the last four matches that Sevilla played in the Champions League. Apart from that, both teams scored in four of the last five home matches that Dortmund played in all competitions. So it is more likely that both the teams will find the back of the net at least once at 1.51 odds available at the 10Cric sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.60

Both the teams are in some prolific goal-scoring form in their leagues courtesy of some good strikers like Erling Haaland, Jadon Sancho, Youssef En-Neysri, etc. In the last three head to head matches, a total of ten goals were scored at an average of over three goals per match. And also, Over 2.5 goals were scored in nine of the last ten matches that Dortmund have played in all competitions.

So by considering these facts, it is more likely that over 2.5 goals will be scored at 1.60 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

As the first leg ended 2-3 in favor of Dortmund, they are the favorites to qualify for the quarter-finals until and unless we see a dramatic turnaround from Sevilla.
