Erling Braut Haaland and Dortmund will face Spanish Sevilla, while Martin Ødegaard’s Real Madrid will face Atalanta of Bergamo in Italy.

Believe in Liverpool’s advance against Sørloth

Viasat football expert Morten Langli believes Liverpool will benefit from the match against Sørloth and company. It won’t be played until February, when the Premier League champions may have more key players back from injuries.

– It’s hard. I think Leipzig is good and they have proven it for a long time. He’s at the top of the Bundesliga, as he did last season, and has shown in individual matches that he can beat Bayern, and came almost to the end in the Champions League last season, but Liverpool are of course favorites. at its extreme top level.

– Maybe they have important players for this game here. If the match had been played right now, I would have put it almost 50-50, but since it will be played in February, I gave Leipzig 35% – Liverpool 65% chance to go ahead, says Langli on the VSport1 broadcast after the draw .

– Difficult match for Haaland and company.

Langli believes that Erling Braut Haaland and Dortmund could have a bad time in a meeting with Sevilla, specialist in the European Cup.

– I put it at 50-50, because I have a lot of respect for what Sevilla has achieved over several years in Europe. They are specialists in two games, so this will not be easy for Dortmund, Haaland and the whole team there, says Langli.

He has greater faith that Martín Ødegaard and Real Madrid will have a good path ahead in a meeting with Atalanta.

– I see Real Madrid as a fairly clear favorite, taking into account what they have achieved in the last week. I keep Real Madrid as a favorite with 70-30.
