Sevilla vs Barcelona – La Liga Betting Tips

Sevilla welcomes Barcelona for their game week 4 postponed match. Sevilla has a chance to close down on Real Madrid at the top of the table. Sevilla has been on an impressive winning run, and their last win against League Rivals Atletico Madrid proves that.  

Barcelona is showing signs of improvement in their league form, but many concerns can be seen in their last match, in which they almost played a draw despite having an early 2 goal lead.

Will Barcelona stop the in-form Sevilla from advancing in their table position? It looks unlikely, but here are the match tips and team news. 

Sevilla Form and Team News

Sevilla has been in good form in recent games proving that they are a worthy contender for the La Liga title this season. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches in La Liga, drawn 1, and lost 1. The impressive thing about these results is that they played against La Liga giants like Real Madrid, Villareal, and Atletico Madrid.   

In La Liga, they are sitting 2nd at the table, having won 11 of their last 17 games, drawing 4 and losing 2. They have been impressive in front of goal and defense by scoring 28 goals and conceding only 12 in these run of matches. 

For the team news, Sevilla has some squad members out of this match, and they are Acuna M (Muscle Injury), Lamela E (Shoulder Injury), Navas J (Muscle Injury), Suso (Ankle Injury), and Torres O (Thigh Injury).

Barcelona Form and Team News

Barcelona has been showing improvement, especially in attack, but their defense still offers a shambolic display. Their last match 3-2 win against Elche explains Barcelona’s recovery from a bad run, but it hasn’t been through convincing displays. 

Barcelona is currently sitting 7th at the table, having won 3 of their last 5 games, drawn 1, and lost 1. They are just 3 points off top 4, and a win against Sevilla would take them temporarily to the top 4. 

For the team news, Barcelona is still dealing with injury problems. The players out of this fixture are Braithwaite M (Knee Injury), Depay M (Thigh Injury), Dest S (Back Injury), Fati A. (Muscle Injury), Pedri (Knee Injury), Roberto S (Muscle Injury), and Wague M.

Our Tipsters Angle

Sevilla has proven to be a hard nut to crack, even for big teams in La Liga. Real Madrid had a hard time with them, and Atletico Madrid couldn’t survive them. They are the second-best club in La Liga right now, and they don’t look like slowing down.

Barcelona has shown signs of improvement, and this match is a big test for them. With injuries plaguing them and still adapting to life after Messi, it is unclear if they can hold Sevilla in this match. 

Below are our tips for this match:

Tip 1:  Sevilla to Win or Draw (1X)

Sevilla has been in great form and has shown themselves to be real contenders this season, having maintained a good record in La Liga this season. They have just beaten a stronger Atletico Madrid that was 4th in the table. 

Barcelona hasn’t beaten a strong team this season in Europe and La Liga, and we believe that a draw will be considered an achievement at this moment because Sevilla will set their eyes on closing the gap with Real Madrid. 

Sevilla to win or draw is available at the Casumo sportsbook at 1.37 odds, which is a good value for this bet.

Tip 2:  Sevilla to Score

Let’s face it, Barcelona’s defense is not strong and is too disintegrated. They are easily overrun, lack pace and coordination. We think that Sevilla has enough firepower to chip in a few goals against this Barca side. 

Sevilla to score market option is available at the Casumo Sportsbook at 1.25 odds. 

Conclusion

Sevilla is proving to be unplayable due to how very coordinated they have been both in attack and in defense. Both teams have injury issues, but Barcelona seems to be feeling the impact more, and with limited options available to choose from, Xavi will likely have a hard time winning this game.
