Sevilla vs Manchester City: Predictions, tips & betting odds

Manchester City head to the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan on Tuesday evening to face Sevilla in the opening game of Group G of the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola's men are huge favourites to pick up three points in the south of Spain not only given their status as champions of England but also thanks to their opponents' disastrous start to the La Liga season.

Julen Lopetegui's men suffered their joint worst ever opening to a domestic campaign claiming just one point from a possible 12.

Saturday night saw them beaten 3-0 by Barcelona at home and they are well-fancied to suffer another defeat on Tuesday.

City are offered at just 1/3 (1.33) by bet365 with a home win available at 15/2 (8.50) and the draw priced at 17/4 (5.25).

Sevilla vs Manchester City first goal scorer odds

Erling Haaland faced Sevilla in last season's competition with Borussia Dortmund and the Norwegian forward terrorised the Andalusians defence scoring two goals in both of their group stage meetings.

City's number nine is priced at 12/5 (3.40) to net first ahead of Julian Alvarez at 10/3 (4.33), while Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne can be backed at 13/2 (7.50).

The shortest priced player to open the scoring for the hosts is Youssef En-Nesyri at 9/1 (10.00) while Spanish striker Rafa Mir can be backed at 12/1 (13.00).

Sevilla vs Manchester City preview

This is a great time for City to be playing Sevilla with morale low at the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan and the manager coming under serious pressure.

A big win for Guardiola's team would set them up nicely in the group and there is little to make us think that an away victory is not on the cards on Tuesday evening.

The breaking up of the superb centre-back pairing of Diego Carlos and Jules Kounde has been a catastrophe for Sevilla and their make-shift defensive line looks set to be in for another difficult evening.

Given Haaland's form at the start of his Blues career, as well as his record against this particular opponent, the striker should be able to get among the goals once more.

Sevilla vs Manchester City tips and predictions

Backing City to score in both halves at 10/11 (1.91) looks like the best way of getting the visitors onside, while more confident punters might like the price of 7/4 (2.75) for Guardiola's team to win both halves.
