Barcelona vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
A striking game on this Saturday is the one held by Barcelona and Sevilla for a new date in the Santander League.
Barcelona :
In my opinion, the team culé part as a favorite because of the collective potential it has and especially because it has improved somewhat in defense since the arrival of Valverde technician. For this reason and knowing that the Andalusians do not defend well when they act as visitors, we advise you to play a few euros to the simple triumph of the premises. At stake is to remain the sole leader of the competition and maintain the advantage with its closest pursuers.
Take into account that Barcelona played against Olympiakos in Greece for the Champions League (draw 0-0). In the Spanish tournament, he defeated Athletic Bilbao 0-2 and continues as super leader of the competition (28 points). The team is showing solid and collective since the arrival of Ernesto Valverde, standing out for taking very good chances.
On the other hand do not forget that the Catalan team has recorded good results in the Nou Camp after beating 2-0 at Betis, surpassing Espanyol 5-0 in the Catalan derby, crushing Eibar 6-1, defeating Las Palmas 3-0 and overcome 2-0 to Malaga. For the Champions League also defeated 3-0 at Juventus and 3-1 at Greek Olympiakos.
Sevilla :
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Sevilla played against Spartak Moscow last Wednesday for the Champions League (triumph 2-1). In the local championship, he reached the 19 units in the table and cut a streak of 2 consecutive losses. Its objective is to improve in defense, since it can not commit the usual mistakes before a rival of individual and collective hierarchy.
And finally we tell you that the Andalusians have obtained different results playing away from home, after beating 0-1 Getafe, defeating Girona 1-0, losing 2-0 against Atlético de Madrid, falling 1-0 against Athletic Bilbao and lose 4-0 against Valencia in Mestalla. For the Champions they equaled 2-2 before Liverpool in England and lost 5-1 against Spartak Moscow in Russia.
Faced with this scenario I play for a victory of the local box due to the following reasons: First, because Barcelona is a set atildad and more compact than its rival, standing out for improving its defensive work since the arrival of coach Valverde. Therefore, it is expected that he can have the ball and advance his lines in a constant manner from the initial whistle. Second because the FC Barcelona team has scored very good results in the Nou Camp, this being their second strongest test after having beaten Juventus for the Champions League. The ideal is that Messi follows onfire and that Suarez finally leaves his apathy and can score more goals. And third because Sevilla is too irregular in defensive matters, costing him a lot to defend well. Faced with this reality and knowing that their problems in the brand are increased as a visitor, we believe that the Catalans can win by one or two goals difference if they take advantage of the chances they will have (1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 3-0 or 3-1 after the final whistle).
