Barcelona vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
Unusual picture in the Spanish La Liga! Not FC Barcelona or Real Madrid and not Atletico Madrid lead the table in Spain’s top flight, but Sevilla FC! And there are at least eight games completed. On Saturday, Barca has the great opportunity to adjust the picture again, because the Blaugrana receive in the native Camp Nou Seville for absolute summit meeting. Almost without exception, the last ten direct duels went to Barcelona. But the team around superstar Lionel Messi showed some unusual weaknesses at the national level. However, hardly anyone will talk about that when Barca regains the championship lead on Saturday. In the match between Barcelona and Sevilla, according to the betting odds, the team from Catalonia is also a big favorite for a tip to a winner.
Barcelona:
Bärenstark FC Barcelona started the new season. In the first competitive match, there was the next trophy, as Barca beat the upcoming Sevilla 2-1 in the game for the Supercup. As a result, there were also four wins on the first four matchdays in La Liga, with Barcelona, including promoted Huesca at 8: 2 disassembled into all its parts. And PSV Eindhoven was not a hurdle on Matchday 1 of the group stage of the Champions League. Barcelona won easily and easily with 4: 0. But what happened next is incomprehensible. In the three La Liga games at home against Girona, Leganes and again at home against Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona only scored two points! With Leganes, the last win to date, Barca lost completely unexpectedly with 1: 2 – despite a Lionel Messi in the squad, which was not spared in this game. Barcelona’s three winless games seemed to have come to an end when the Catalans won 4-2 at Tottenham on Matchday 2 of the Champions League group stage at Wembley Stadium.
But four days later there was again only one point in La Liga, with the 1-1 in Champions League participants Valencia is still quite responsible. But then it comes down to the fact that Barcelona has actually been without threes for four consecutive games in La Liga. The Catalans can boast that they still make the best offensive, with the 8: 2 against Huesca has been instrumental in this. Nine goals against it mean the currently only ninth best (!) Defensive in Spain’s upper house. Barcelona have been unbeaten against Sevilla for ten direct matches. Nine of these ten last direct duels won Barcelona, one of them after extra time in the final of the Copa del Rey on 22.05.2016. Not least for that reason in the match between Barcelona and Sevilla the betting odds are clearly in the direction of a tip on Sevilla.
Seville:
A draw on matchday two, two defeats on matchdays three and four and a total of not a single goal in those three games. In addition, the lost match for the Supercup against Barcelona. Sevilla FC’s new coach, Pablo Machin, saw early whistles from his own fans and first voices calling for an early end to his term in Andalusia. One month after the home defeat against Getafe, Machin is the acclaimed man who has led Sevilla to the top after eight games in La Liga. This was possible due to last four victories in a row. The biggest coup was certainly the 3-0 home win against Champions League winner Real Madrid. He fell into a phase in which Sevilla bounced all that was in its way: 5-1 against Standard Liège in the Europa League, 6-2 at Levante, 3-0 against Real Madrid and 3-1 away at home Eibar. These four competitive matches continued to be stifled on the second match day of the Europa League group stage, as Sevilla lost 2-1 to FK Krasnodar despite a 1-0 lead shortly before the end, although they were home-strong Russians. But Sevilla shook only briefly and could score three times later in La Liga three times later after a tiring journey home. With a 2-1 home win against Celta Vigo, the club from Andalusia said goodbye to the international break.
As beautiful as the first place feels after eight match days, it will be so hard to hold it over a longer distance. Should Sevilla lose on Saturday in Barcelona and score points accordingly, then Sevilla could find themselves in sixth after this match in one fell swoop. And the balance sheet from the direct duels with Barca has already been mentioned. Sevilla have been waiting for victory in Barcelona for almost nine years. The last success at the Camp Nou was on 05.01.2010 in the second round of the Copa del Rey. The last three in La Liga at the Catalans, however, dated from 15.12.2002! In the last 15 appearances in Barcelona in a league game Sevilla went 13 times (!) As a loser from the square. The last six league games at Barcelona have lost the Andalusians all. On Saturday, in the match of Sevilla in Barcelona, for a tip on away win, there are up to six times as many betting odds as for betting on Barca.
