Stuttgart coach Markus Babbel is fully aware that recording a good result away to Sevilla in the Champions League will not be an easy task, especially after losing 3-1 to the Rojiblancos two weeks ago.

"We want to win, although we know just how strong FC Sevilla are," he told the press. "I said before the first game that I consider Sevilla to be one of the best sides in the Champions League, alongside FC Barcelona. If they play to their full potential, they can go a long way in this tournament.

"[Stuttgart] were defensively very solid in the game against Bayern Munich last weekend. Against Sevilla it will be up to us to display more penetration in front of goal."

Sevilla sit top of their group with nine points from three games. Stuttgart have collected two points so far and sit third.
