Team news
Jesus Navas returns to the Sevilla side, and captains the hosts tonight. Delaney and Witsel are missing from the Dortmund line up, with Morey coming in at right back.
Not long now...
Kick off under five minutes away at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
Sevilla favourites
The 'Europa League specialists' have found themselves in the knockout phase of the Champions League, and will be looking to continue their great form in 2021. Julen Lopetegui's side have lost just one of their last 19 games in all competitions
Indifferent form
The Black & Yellows come to Spain in poor form, but are capable of delivering when it counts. One league win in their last six has seen them slip out of the top four in the Bundesliga, but they will be hoping to put that behind them tonight
