Sunday night at the Sanchez Pizjuan will be a fundamental stage for the championship of Barcelona who, after Real Madrid's stop against Espanyol, suddenly finds the possibility of believing in the comeback in La Liga. Reinvigorated by yet another goleada in the Copa del Rey against Valencia, Flick's boys dream of repeating against them the manita (another one) of the first leg, with which they crushed the Andalusians who, however, are now in a positive sequence for a few games and, therefore, announced certainly more combative than then. Sevilla will still be able to count on its stadium which, lately, is a fortress where few manage to score but, on the other side of the coin, they will have to try to score more, certainly a problem that is not that of Barcelona who by far has the best attack in La Liga. This “handicap” of the Andalusians seems rather singular because, in the team, there is a bomber who, with 9 goals, is certainly doing very well but the problem is with the rest of the team, truly not very prolific. For the match against Barcelona, ​​however, it is presumable that the attack will not be the first concern of Garcia Pimienta who will have the not simple primary task of stopping the Blaugrana furies, eager to fuel their pursuit towards the top.

Sevilla's shape and key statistics

Sevilla's numbers at home are very impressive: in the last 9 league games, 5 wins, 3 draws and only 1 defeat certify the Andalusian strength within friendly walls.

Sevilla's last appearance in La Liga, however, was not an exciting one and was consequently away: a goalless draw against Getafe that saw, on the scoreboard, one shot each.

Overall, in the league, Sevilla occupies twelfth position, the result of a record distributed almost equally between 7 wins, 7 draws and 8 defeats.

Barcelona's shape and key statistics

The numbers of the Blaugrana attack are incredible, obviously positive. 60 goals in the league in 22 games speak for themselves but the breakdown of the last 5 games played by Barcelona is even better: 4 wins and 1 draw with an average of 4 goals per match.

However, in Liga, there are also 5 defeats that raise alarm bells about the defense of Flick's team that concedes more than 1 goal per game (24 goals conceded in 22 games). The home advantage, as we could see from the 0-5 in Valencia, even though it was a cup game, is not a problem for Barcelona who has won 6 of the last 7 games played away and who actually have, in La Liga, a better points average than at home, the best average in the entire championship (2 points per game).

Sevilla - Barcelona Prediction and Tactical Analysis

Although solid and compact within their own walls, Sevilla could have a lot of difficulty containing a Barcelona that, in fact, is often unstoppable. The avalanche of goals scored by the Blaugrana in the last matches is quite eloquent and, in view of Sunday's match, Barcelona will also have the incentive of having gotten even closer to Real Madrid. The trio Rapinha - Lewandowski - Yamal, to which other scorers are often added in the scoresheet, now appears too strong not to give the Catalans the advantage of the match and, in fact, the BetMines prediction algorithm gives the 2 sign the highest probability share.
