Sevilla Preview – Sevilla continue to impress

In the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, Sevilla had a tie against the only remaining team from the Segunda Division, Almeria.

It was a 1-0 win that Sevilla got through with on the day.

They have just been in blistering hot form.

It is a six-match winning streak that Sevilla are on in all competitions.

They have not conceded a single goal in their last five games.

In Copa del Rey football betting, Sevilla are the 9/4 underdogs* (odds recorded 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 8th February).

So what do we have to go on here?

Sevilla’s home form for starters, as they have won their last five on home turf.

Not only that, they have scored exactly three goals in each of their last four home games (all competitions).

They have four clean sheets in their last five home fixtures.

So they are no mugs and Youssef En-Nesyri has been in fantastic goalscoring form.

He has scored eight goals in Sevilla’s last five home games.

Our betting prediction:
Youssef En-Nesyri Anytime Goalscorer
13/8

(odds recorded 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 8th February)

 

An anytime goalscorer option on Youssef En-Nesyri is at 13/8 and surely worth taking on* (odds recorded 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 8th February).

He is only behind Lionel Messi in the market and at a much better value.

When the two met in October in La Liga action at the Nou Camp, there was a 1-1 draw.

Sevilla have failed to win any of their last four against Barcelona.

The last time that they beat them was in the first leg of the 2019 Copa Del Rey.

Sevilla won that home leg 2-0 before flailing 6-1 at the Nou Camp in the second leg.

 

Barcelona Preview – Barca in for a test in Seville?

The last time that Barcelona lost a match was in early December last year, a Champions League match against Juventus.

They are undefeated in sixteen games across all competitions since then.

In their last five games in all competitions, Barca have won four of those.

They did need extra time in the quarter-finals of this season’s Copa del Rey to make it past Getafe.

That was a thrilling 5-3 away for Barcelona on the night in the end.

Barcelona have been scoring freely as of late, it should be noted.

They have netted at least two goals in each of their last seven games in all competitions.

But interestingly, they have not been watertight at the back.

Barcelona have not had a clean sheet in their last four games and just two in their last eight.

Barcelona are the 6/5 favourites in the match outright in this game* (odds recorded 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 8th February).

We should look at the away form of Barcelona as well to try and size up this match for football betting.

It’s good.

Barcelona are unbeaten in ten road fixtures in all competitions, which includes the draw with Sociedad (90 minutes) in the Spanish Super Cup.

Again we go to the scoring output. Barcelona have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight away games.

But then again with two clean sheets in their last six away games, there are cracks there at the back.

 

Sevilla vs Barcelona Betting Advice

With the second leg to come at home, Barcelona probably don’t need to come out and hit top gear here.

So we think that they do miss out on the win. But we are going to swing for the fences in this one and go better.

Because there have been cracks in Barcelona’s defence, we are rolling with the home win at 9/4 instead* (odds recorded 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 8th February).

 

Key Facts – Sevilla vs Barcelona Betting Tip

  • Sevilla have won their last six games, five of those to nil
  • Sevilla have scored at least two goals in each of their last five home games (W5)
  • Barcelona are undefeated since early December in all competitions (90 minutes)

 

Sevilla’s home form is just exceptional at the moment and they have a better defence than Barcelona.

They got the win over the Catalans the last time that they hosted them in the Copa del Rey.

We don’t see why they can’t do it again.

If they are going to get there, Youssef En-Nesyri is probably going to play a big part as is the 13/8 anytime goalscorer pick* (odds recorded 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 8th February).
