Sevilla FC vs. Spartak Moscow: the second official fixture between the two sides and the first to take place in the Sánchez-Pizjuán. A chance to show that you learn more in defeat than in victory and that the Russian side - who were in dreamland in the first fixture - are a dangerous but beatable side given total concentration and collective intensity. It's a pivotal day for Group E.
The determination and drive that should accompany every Champions League clash should coincide with the proverbial boomerang effect, with the Sevillistas looking to return the favour of a thrashing in the Russian capital. Above all, the home side will be looking to take their chances and make the most of their possession - with the Russians only having 38% of the ball and taking fewer shots than the Nervionenses in the away fixture. It bears remembering that Ben Yedder had 1-2 at his feet before Sevilla's capitulation, but in football, there can be no ifs and buts.
Berizzo's side should respond with the famous Sevillista spirit which always rears its head in the biggest fixtures
As one would expect, the away fixture is the best and closest reference you can find. Fresh in the memory of Berizzo's side will be the fantastic start to the second half in Moscow, which saw Sevilla dominate after goals from Promes and Kjaer had left the sides level at half-time. But after Ben Yedder's golden chance came three goals in 15 minutes (Melgarejo, Glushakov and Luiz Adriano ), eventually accompanied by a fourth on ninety minutes from Promes (who achieved two goals and two assists on the night). A magical night for the Russians and a bitter blow for the Sevillistas. This Wednesday night, Sevilla will have to turn history on its head in a night which already guarantees an unforgettable Nervión atmosphere.
