Sevilla - Barcelona predictions

A home win would be a big surprise in this match. Sevilla are the underdogs here and it will be a huge surprise if they end up grabbing a win here.

If everything goes according to plan and Barcelona put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Sevilla’s previous La Liga match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Athletic Bilbao . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 5.72. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 2:0 result before the end.

Blaugrana’s previous outing was a decent performance on their end. They curtly earned three points against Rayo Vallecano by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.37 made them huge favourites so the result didn’t come as much of a surprise.

Experts have pointed at Sevilla’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 La Liga games.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Barcelona. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

A quick look at the season’s match history tells us that Blaugrana won the last time these two squads clashed. It’s easy to see why most bookies online expect them to come out on top again, even if said victory was a narrow home win.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Óliver Torres, Nemanja Gudelj, Érik Lamela, Navas, Djibril Sow, Luis Dasilva Rodríguez, Isaac are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Frenkie de Jong, P. Paez Gaviria, Alejandro Balde Martínez will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Blaugrana, though.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
