Barcelona vs Sevilla Prediction: the Hosts to Win with Little Effort

Prediction for the La Liga Barcelona vs Sevilla match, which will take place on February 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Since this match is the final of the 20th round, the Catalans will know Real Madrid vs Mallorca's outcome. In any case, it's not time for Barcelona to relax. A five-point handicap is a good lead, but it is no guarantee of the title, which means that there is a tough fight for the return of the trophy. Barcelona's winning streak counts six games and began with a victory over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final. After Barcelona knocked out Real Sociedad, they beat Girona in the derby and Betis on the road. Barcelona's home stats are the best in the division, +7=2-0, 19:1 goal difference. What is striking is the Catalans' conceding ability in home games, with just one missed goal in nine games or 0.11 on average.

Sevilla won two matches in La Liga. But between victories over Cadiz and Elche, the Red and White dropped out of the Copa del Rey, losing to Osasuna. It was a disappointing defeat for the Pamplona side, as the сup was their only opportunity to reach the European competitions. Sevilla sits in 13th place, 10 points behind Betis from the Eurocup zone. Sevilla has the potential to climb up into the top-6, but we doubt they will do it. Sevilla's away statistic is 12th in the division, +2=3-4, 11:14 goal difference. Note that the away team has a four-game winless streak.

In the last eight games between Barcelona and Sevilla, TO (3.5) has yet to be reached, as well as in the previous four games of the Catalans. This trend will continue. Sevilla is not a competitor for Barcelona this season. That is, there is no reason to smash the opponent. A minimum victory is enough. Barcelona needs to maintain the gap from Real Madrid and stay fresh before the first playoff matches in the European competitions. For sure, Barca should win the Europa League since there was such a UCL mishap. We will not be surprised if Barcelona claims another win at Camp Nou.
