I'm not sure it's such a wise idea to tip Sevilla to qualify at the expense of Dortmund. Sevilla are not really good in the Champions league unlike the Europa League where they always come out top. Also, sevilla is not the kind of team you would expect to deliver on big occasions. If you watched the Chelsea vs Sevilla game (5th group stage game), you would know what I'm talking about. I just don't think they stand a chance against a team like Dortmund.
Don't be surprised Atalanta eliminates Real Madrid from the last 16, lol.
I understand why you doubt Sevilla can beat Dortmund, because I admit that in terms of the quality of the players and the experience,
Dortmund are superior compared to Sevilla. But don't forget Dortmund's appearance in the Bundesliga is inconsistent, even from the last
5 matches in the Bundesliga Dortmund only managed to win once. Meanwhile, Sevilla from the last 5 matches in La Liga have only lost
once and the rest have won. So this may be a consideration for why many people prefer Sevilla over Dortmund.
I agree that Atalanta might give a surprise by dropping Real Madrid, even though the chances are very small. But Real Madrid is more
experienced in the Champions League competition, Real Madrid should be able to overcome Atalanta easily with the support of quality
players who are far above Atalanta.
