Sevilla vs Barcelona Prediction

Sevilla Form

In their last three matches, Sevilla lost 3-2 against Villarreal, 0-1 against Cadiz and 2-0 against Athletic Club. It has been a bit hit-and-miss for Sevilla but at least mostly hit, as they put four wins on the board in their previous six La Liga matches. They didn't draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring ten goals while conceding six.

They were hoping to book a ticket for a European competition, but as the season nears it end, Sevilla look to be drawing a blank this season.

Barcelona Form

Barcelona look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Real Sociedad, who were defeated by 2-0. Then, Almeria got outclassed in a 0-2 win, before beating Rayo Vallecano by 3-0. Barcelona managed a decent return of three wins in their last six La Liga away matches, in which they scored ten while also conceding seven times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

Sevilla fought their way to two wins and seven points from their last 11 games against teams inside the top six. They were on target eight times in these matches, but also let in 19 goals. Sevilla have a record of ten wins, 11 draws and 16 defeats in the La Liga this season. Barcelona enjoy a record of 25 wins, seven draws and five defeats in the La Liga.
