Published on March 8th, 2018 - 8:33am ESTWritten By: Ariel Noel
Manchester United host Sevilla in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 at Old Trafford on Tuesday, March 13th, 2018. The first leg played in Seville, although an entertaining game, ended in a 0-0 draw.
Following a solid defensive performance in the first match, Manchester United are the favourites to win at home and progress to the quarter-finals. The Red Devils have been going through a transition period since the departure of longtime manager Alex Ferguson and seem to have found footing with the arrival of Jose Mourinho, who recently extended his contract until 2020. Manchester United are currently in second place in the English Premier League tables and last year they managed to win the Europa League title.
Sevilla have been going through similar challenges since the departure of manager Unai Emery, who led the club to three back-to-back European League titles. They are currently fifth in the Spanish La Liga standings and seem to be destined for another season in the Europa League.
