Stuttgart vs Sevilla
Uefa Champions League, 20h45
Stuttgart is in all sorts of problems this season, as they are in the relegation zone of the domestic league. In the UCL they managed 2 draws, at home to Rangers and at Unirea. Marcus Babbel is not an experienced coach, Hleb has trouble settling in the area and Mario Gomez is a huge loss for them. Stuttgart has won only one of the last 11 games played in this competition in addition to always conceding in the last 8 outings. These two played each other in last year's Uefa Cup. Sevilla won 2-0.
Sevilla has a very good start of the season. They are 3rd in La Liga, only losing twice. They have a very good record in this competition, where they've won twice, scoring 6 and conceding once in the process. With a win tonight they are virtually through to the next round.
Negredo, Palop and Renato are missing out this game, while Luis Fabiano is coming back after he was rested at the week-end. The Andalusians have two men on every position and that is why I think they will go all the way in this competition, battling out for the title.
I predict a win for Sevilla, which is rated at 7/6.
