Sevilla – Barcelona : Preview & Prediction
Sevilla FC have the second best record at home behind Rayo Vallecano with 22 points gleaned from their 8 receptions in the Spanish league. The Andalusians, hooked by Alaves (2-2), have still beaten in their last 3 performances Wolfsburg (2-0) in the Champions League, Villareal (1-0) and Atlético Madrid (2-1) in Andalusia. Between the last two La Liga successes, Rakitic’s partners painfully released Andratx (1-1, 6 tab 5) in the 1/32 round of the Copa del Rey. The Sevillians have lost only once, in Salzburg (1-0) in C1 during their last 6 outings. FC Barcelona, still deprived of Braithwaite, Fati, Depay, Pedri and Roberto in particular, should suffer in Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan! The Blaugranas beat Elche (3-2) in pain at the very end of the match on an achievement by Nico (85th) on the last day of La Liga last weekend. This success follows 1 draw at Osasuna (2-2) and 3 defeats against Real Betis (0-1), Munich (3-0) in C1 and ahead of Boca Juniors (1-1, 2 tab 4) during a friendly meeting on December 14th. Unattractive in the game and in a crisis of results, the Catalan club, only 7th, does not seem to have the means to win in Andalusia.
Sevilla FC is the runner-up to Real Madrid.
FC Barcelona occupy a disappointing 7th place overall.
The Sevillian club have won the last 3 days of La Liga.
Barça have won only once in their last 5 matches in all competitions.
Sevilla FC are undefeated at home in the league.
Sevilla FC should preserve their invincibility at home in La Liga in front of a Barcelona team so irregular and disappointing since the start of the season.
