UEFA Champions League: Group G Preview

The final round of fixtures in Group G of the UEFA Champions League sees Sevilla host Rangers and VfB Stuttgart entertain Romanian champions Unirea Urziceni with a place in the last 16 up for grabs.

With Sevilla having already secured their place in the knockout phase as Group G winners, it is left to Stuttgart and Unirea Urziceni to try to grab the second qualification spot.

In their maiden UEFA Champions League outing, Dan Petrescu's Unirea currently occupy the runners-up spot on eight points, closely followed by Stuttgart who have six, whilst the group's basement boys Rangers have two.

Thus the match at the Mercedes-Benz Arena is a straight shoot-out for second place and new Die Roten coach Christian Gross will be keen to get his tenure off with a bang following the sacking of Markus Babbel on Sunday.

A win for the 2007 German champions will see them progress to the last 16 for only the second time in their history, whilst Unirea Urziceni just have to avoid defeat to progress in what is already a historic maiden outing for the Champions League virgins.

Meanwhile over in Andalusia, Sevilla will be seeking to put a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Unirea on Matchday 5 behind them when they host Rangers at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

Walter Smith's men have been nothing short of atrocious in this season's European campaign and do not even have the Europa League as consolation having suffered three defeats in five matches, conced 13 goals in the process.
