Manchester City vs. Sevilla Preview

Manchester City

Erling Haaland announced another season of violence, scoring two goals in the opening phase of the game against Burnley. The Norwegian picked up where he left off at the end of the previous campaign, making a flying start to this one.

His Citizens won 3-0 on the road in Burnley in the opening game of the English Premier League season. From what we saw, they are playing the same football as before, taking the ball and dictating the tempo.

Ilkay Gundogan is gone, yet Guardiola’s system is still working. That’s because Haaland presents the centerpiece of the same, not the midfield as before. This team still has enough firepower to score two or three goals against any rival, but it won’t be odd to see them locking down the game after their first score.

Sevilla

Rojoblancos once again won the Europa League, and the Spaniards have seven titles in this competition. They are by far the most successful club in the UEFA Europa League. However, only one Super Cup is something that bothers some of their fans.

Sevilla played against Valencia this Friday, losing at home 1-2. In an exciting finish, Rojoblancos lost composure, Loic Balde the most, with him receiving a red card ten minutes before the end. Shortly after he left the field, Valencia netted a game-winner.

Up until the game against Valencia, Sevilla played three consecutive events with under 2.5 goals against Crystal Palace, Betis and Atletico Madrid.
