Tipster’s Angle

Barcelona might have dominated Sevilla over the years but, Sevilla is in exceptional form this season and Barcelona is really struggling. Apart from that, this match could be a low-scoring thriller.

Tip: Both Teams To Score – No @ 2.03

Sevilla has scored 28 goals so far and has conceded just 12 goals in 17 matches in La Liga this season and has kept clean sheets in nine of those matches. In the last 11 matches that Sevilla has played across competitions, they have kept a clean sheet in five of those matches and have conceded a clean sheet in one. Barcelona on the other hand has kept a clean sheet in three and has conceded a clean sheet in three of the last 11 matches across competitions. Also, five of the last six head-to-head matches had either team keeping a clean sheet. So, it is likely that both teams will not find the back of the net at 2.03 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Sevilla Draw No Bet @ 1.66

Sevilla has won two of the last ten head-to-head meetings, while Barcelona has won five, with the remaining two ending in a draw. In their last 11 games across all competitions, Sevilla has won seven games, drawn one, and lost three. Barcelona has won four, drawn four, and lost three of their last 11 matches in all competitions. Only one of Sevilla’s last six home games has ended in defeat. On the other side, Barcelona has only won one of their last four road matches. Sevilla has only lost two of their 16 La Liga matches thus far. So, with Betway‘s 1.66 odds, a Sevilla win with no bet on the draw is a viable choice.

Conclusion

Barcelona has a long way to go from here on after losing a world-class striker due to retirement. They have to start winning matches to have a chance to make it to the top four. Sevilla on the other hand also has to keep their momentum going in order to keep up with Real Madrid.
