Arsenal
Sevilla/AEK
Steau
Slavia Prague
This is the only group where at this moment five teams are involved. As the second leg match between Sevilla and AEK Athens in UEFA Champions league third qualify round has been postponed, both teams initially have been included in the group.
Arsenal is the top seeded team in this group. Arsenal is a popular English club who has won Premier League for 13 times. However, in Champions league their best result was in 2005-2006 where they achieved the runner up trophy.
Sevilla is a Spanish club who are now in good form. Though they could not won Champions league title yet, they won the last two UEFA Cup titles in 2005-06 and 2006-07. So, it is possible for them to do something better in Champions League 2007-08 season. On the other hand, AEK Athens is Greek club who does not have any success in Champions league or in UEFA Cup.
Romanian club Steaua Bucuresti is not so well known in the world. However, they already won one Champions league title. In 1985-86 season they won the UEFA Champions league tile defeating FC Barcelona in the final.
Slavia Prague is a Czech football club who does not have any notable success in Champions league. However, in domestic league they got different titles several times.
Arsenal is undoubtedly the most favorite in the group as they are most likely to qualify for the quarter final stage. If Sevilla can qualify then they will have better chance to be the second team from this group to enter into the quarter final stage. However, if they can not they it will be open to all other three teams to achieve the second place in the group.
