Sevilla v Barcelona

Sevilla vs Barcelona Preview

Sevilla extended their unbeaten run in the Spanish top flight to four games overall after gaining a point in a 0-0 draw away from home at Getafe which has maintained the upcoming host's mid-table position in the La Liga table in 12th place, but this unbeaten sequence could under close scrutiny from visitors Barcelona on Sunday night.

Barcelona currently occupy third place but the visitors may just have one eye on the upcoming Madrid derby which concerns the top two clubs in the La Liga table, Real and Atletico, while all three points for Barca here on Sunday night could see them close the gap in the race for the domestic top flight title.

Recent points picked up in draws with Valencia, Espanyol and Getafe respectively along with a victory gained over Girona with a 2-1 win away from home gives Sevilla a chance of getting something out of this upcoming encounter but results in recent months have seen the hosts produce a mixed bag of returns.

Within their last 11 games overall in La Liga, Sevilla have collected just three wins along with being involved in four draws while also slipping to four defeats in the process as well, and this inconsistent sequence of results may just be the undoing of the hosts in this one.

Following a string of indifferent to just downright poor results in the Spanish top flight, Barcelona have seemingly clicked back into gear by recording recent back-to-back wins against Valencia and Alaves in 7-1 and 1-0 wins respectively.

Barcelona had previously managed to collect just one win from their preceding eight league matches in La Liga which came in the form of a crushing 5-1 victory away from home at Mallorca, but also involved being dealt four defeats in the process as well.

Interestingly, three out of Barcelona's four defeats were inflicted upon Hans Flick's side on home soil at their Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys but only two losses have been incurred on their travels for some time in the domestic top flight.

The bigger picture shows that the visitors have been handed just two defeats within their previous 14 outings on the road in the Spanish top flight along with racking up nine wins in the process, so the visitors will feel confident about their chances of making it three league wins on the trot here at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on Sunday night.

Sevilla v Barcelona Verdict

Barcelona registered a 2-1 win away from home at Sevilla in the earlier corresponding fixture in this season's La Liga campaign and having won the last six meetings on the trot against their upcoming hosts as well, Barcelona look set for the spoils here.
