Barcelona vs Sevilla: match preview
Barcelona currently sit at the top of the table. They are firmly in the title race and have collected 67 points after 27 rounds. The gap to second place stands at four points, meaning the destination of the championship is far from decided. The Catalans are enjoying a solid run of form. They are unbeaten in their last five matches, recording four victories and a draw, the latter coming in the UEFA Champions League.
Sevilla are positioned in the lower half of the table and still need to collect points to avoid being dragged into the relegation battle. After 27 league matches, they have accumulated 31 points and currently occupy 14th place. Their advantage over the relegation zone is just six points. As a result, the Andalusian side cannot afford to relax and must continue picking up points. Sevilla are unbeaten in five matches, but have managed to win only one of them, with the other four ending in draws.
Probable line-ups
- Barcelona: J Garcia; Araujo, Cubarsi, E Garcia, Martin; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Fermin, Raphinha; F Torres
- Sevilla: Vlachodimos; Azpilicueta, Nianzou, Gudelj, Salas; Juanlu, Agoume, Sow, Carmona; Adams, Romero
Prediction
Barcelona are in strong form and have every chance to claim another victory and maintain their lead at the top. My suggested bet is Barcelona over 2 team goals.
