Barcelona vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
For the third time in barely three weeks, FC Barcelona and Sevilla will face each other again on Wednesday evening, with a final place in the Copa del Rey as the bet. FC Barcelona can get to work, because in last month’s first match, Sevilla turned out to be 2-0 too strong. Will the Catalans manage to clear this gap, or will the visitors from Andalusia fight their way to the Spanish cup final?
Barcelona:
FC Barcelona’s season is one of peaks and troughs. The Spanish national title is almost certainly out of reach, and success in the Champions League is virtually impossible after the 1-4 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain two weeks ago. Yet there is an upward trend in the game of the Catalans. Lionel Messi shows his class again at times, and Ronald Koeman is not afraid to throw young talents like Riqui Puig, Pedri and Ilaix Moriba to the lions.
FC Barcelona also played a strong match last weekend. With a 0-2 victory at Sevilla, the Blaugrana took sportive revenge on the 2-0 defeat a few weeks ago in the first leg of the semi-final in the Copa del Rey. Koeman surprised with a 3-1-4-2 formation, with three center-backs and Sergio Busquets as the defensive midfielder. That worked out well, so there is a good chance that this experiment will be continued on Wednesday evening. FC Barcelona must score twice anyway and the Copa del Rey is in fact the last (realistic) chance of winning medals this year, so you can count on all the best players to kick off.
Sevilla:
Thanks to last month’s 2-0 victory in the first leg, Sevilla is of course on roses, although Julen Lopetegui will not yet be confident that it will end well. With a fourth place in LaLiga, the Andalusians are indeed working on a good season, but it is precisely in the top matches that the red and white often lose out. The four league matches against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona yielded only one point, and two weeks ago, Erling Haaland’s Borussia Dortmund also proved to be a size too big for the employer of Luuk de Jong and Karim Rekik with a 2-3 defeat. .
All in all, it will be very interesting to see what kind of battle plan Lopetegui will conjure up from the top hat. With only eighteen goals against in 24 duels in LaLiga, the strength of Sevilla is mainly in the rear, but if the visitors are smart, they will also look for a goal themselves in the Camp Nou. In case of a goal, Los Nerviones are almost certain of a place in the final, as they would be allowed to score no fewer than three goals against.
