Manchester United vs Sevilla Prediction

In 11 of his full seasons as a manager in the Champions League, Jose Mourinho has reached the quarter-finals eight times, failing at this stage only three times; in 2005-06, 2008-09 and 2014-15.

70% of away sides who draw the first leg of a Champions League knockout tie 0-0 end up progressing to the next round. Therefore, Mourinho’s record and previous statistics hint towards United advancing through this tie.

However, Man United have not managed to score more than one goal in any of their last 15 Champions League encounter with Spanish opposition. Nevertheless, the Red Devils are coming into this game in good form as they have won four of their last five games in all competitions and are expected to win this game.

Our prediction for this game is a 2-0 win for Manchester United.
