Sevilla-Arsenal is a match from the third day of the Champions League group stage and is played on Tuesday at 9 p.m.: TV, lineups, predictions.
Group B, at the time of the draw, gave the impression of being one of the most balanced, and so far it is doing nothing but confirming expectations. Suffice it to say that at the top of the standings, after two days, is Lens, capable of snatching a draw against Sevilla and even beating the highly favored Arsenal at the Stade “Bollaert-Delelis. “
Everything can still happen, in short, and the feeling is that the two close direct clashes between the Spaniards and the English, the two teams that in theory should have access to the round of 16, at least according to eve’s predictions, will certainly be decisive. Sevilla has only two points, the result of two draws with Lens (1-1) and Psv Eindhoven (2-2). And it is strange to think that it is precisely in the cup that the greatest satisfaction has come for the Andalusians, in the league only thirteenth after nine days. An unsatisfactory performance for the Europa League holders, who even changed technical leadership during the national team break, replacing Jose Luis Mendilibar with Uruguayan Diego Alonso. The former Uruguay selector made his debut last Saturday, managing to impose a draw on Real Madrid (1-1) in a match played with great character by his men and even seasoned by some refereeing controversy.
Gunners, the goal is to forget Lens
It was also a busy weekend for Arsenal, which avoided defeat in the derby with Chelsea thanks to a goal by Leandro Trossard in the 84th minute (2-2).
Nelson
The Gunners failed to give continuity to the victory in the direct clash, won before the break, with Manchester United and in the standings they were joined in first place by the very Cityzens, victorious over Brighton (waiting, of course, for Tottenham to take the field in the post-match with Fulham). Mikel Arteta, coach of the Londoners, will be able to field the best possible lineup, with the exception of the injured Timber: up front it is a ballot between Trossard and Martinelli. No major absence, however, for Diego Alonso, who in front should choose En-Nesyri, supported by Ocampos and Lukebakio.

The prediction
The attitude with which Sevilla faced Real Madrid seemed to be the right one, and it is the same attitude with which the Andalusians will have to try to trouble another battleship like Arsenal. An easy away trip does not loom for the Gunners, who are unlikely to return from Spain with all three points in their pockets. Both, in any case, should score on at least one occasion.
