Match Preview
It has been a professional start to the Champions League for Arsenal this term, as the Gunners already sit top of the Group B standings after winning two of their opening three matches. They are already the highest scorers in the group, and have allowed just three goals in the European competition at this stage.
However, the Gunners have a poor record against Spanish opposition in the group stage of the Champions League, as they have won just three of their previous eleven. But, two of their wins over that period have come in three showdowns against Sevilla.

There will be growing pressure on Sevilla at this stage of the Champions League, as they are yet to win in three group stage matches. In fact, they are looking to record their first win in the competition since landing a 3-1 victory against Rennes in December 2020.
The Spanish side have underperformed on the road against English opposition across all European competitions, with their only win in eleven visits to the nation coming in the form of a 2-1 success at Old Trafford against Man United in the 2017-18 Champions League.
Arsenal vs Sevilla Prediction
Sevilla’s poor record on the road against English opposition could be the crucial angle this week. Therefore, we expect Arsenal to land a second straight victory against the Spanish club to enhance their prospects of finishing top of the Group B standings.
