La Liga – Sevilla vs FC Barcelona: Betting Preview

Sevilla and Barcelona lock horns in Andalusia in another La Liga clash on Tuesday evening.

Thanks to Real Madrid’s slip-up against Cadiz at the weekend, Sevilla can move to within three points of the La Liga leaders. The hosts are riding high at the moment. They’ve won their last three games and made a real statement by beating reigning champions Atletico Madrid 2-1 on Saturday.

Barcelona, meanwhile, head to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium on the back of a 3-2 win over Elche. Perhaps it wasn’t their most impressive result, but it was welcome nonetheless. They now hope to build on it ahead of what is arguably new manager Xavi’s biggest test so far.

Sevilla, who are in 2nd with 37 points, will do their part to widen the distance to their upcoming opponents on Tuesday.

Top marksman

Lucas Ocampos is enjoying a great goal-per-game ratio, as he has been on target a few times recently.
