Sevilla - Barcelona predictions

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 5.80 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Sevilla to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

Taking a 1.45 bet on an away game can often be risky but when it comes to Barcelona ahead of their trip to The Sevillistas, this match can be a great addition to your betting slip.

The Sevillistas are here on the back of an upturn victory in the previous round. They faced off against Rayo Vallecano , who were widely considered strong favourites and had home-field advantage. The first half was largely a stalemate, but Sevilla pulled ahead in the second half and ended the game on a 0:1 score.

Blaugrana had little to prove the last time they played at home against Real Sociedad, and they secured a 2:1 victory through a one-goal lead in the second half. Still, more was expected from them in such a favourable matchup, and their opponents in round 8 might be a harder nut to crack.

With a defensive record like the one Sevilla boasts, their fans may have a reason to worry. They conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone – the advantage of playing at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán seems lost on them.

Barcelona and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 La Liga matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

The Sevillistas no doubt have their sights set on a UEFA qualification spot, but getting there won’t be easy. They’ll need to close a 2-point gap to get into the upper positions on the table, but a victory this Sunday seems like a long shot in its own right.

With multiple decisive victories over The Sevillistas on record, it’s easy to see why most bookies online consider Blaugrana the favourites in this matchup. Although these wins are largely from the previous season, they were all secured with a hefty goal lead.

Thanks to a lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams will have their full rosters ready for an exciting game.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1 at 1xbet.
