La Liga: Sevilla x Barcelona, Match Preview, Odds and Predictions(26/05/2024)

The La Liga season will end with Monday's football match between Barcelona and Sevilla. Sevilla wants to atone for their disastrous Primera Division campaign, but a home victory is not worth considering, considering their three-game losing streak. While Oliver Torres, Nemanja Gudelj, Erik Lamela, Suso, Djibril Sow, and Isaac Romero remain injured, Boubakary Soumare returns from suspension.

Contrarily, Barca easily defeated Rayo Vallecano 3-0 to move into second position in the rankings. Xavi's team wants to wrap out the season in style. Hence, an away victory should be considered. Remember that Barcelona is going for their sixth straight victory against Sevilla. Ronald Araujo, a target of Aston Villa, is vying for a start while Frenkie De Jong's ankle injury keeps him out.

Sevilla x Barcelona Team News

This game will see Sevilla without at least seven players. Just in time for preseason, Suso and Lamela will be fully fit again. No return dates have been established for Sow, Gudelj, Torres, or Romero. The torn cruciate ligament that Lulo Dasilva suffered will keep him out until at least December.

Though there are a few significant absentees, Xavi will be able to call upon most of his important players. During Barcelona's season, he suffered due to Gavi's cruciate ligament injury. Alex Balde and Frenkie De Jong have also been out for a while.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

The second and 13th-placed teams in La Liga will square off against Sevilla. Barcelona enjoys a substantial 56% away win record in La Liga, but Sevilla has shown strength at home with 4 victories in their previous 6 home games. However, Sevilla has struggled in their last head-to-head meetings; in their past six games against Barcelona, they have lost 83%. With opposing head-to-head records, Sevilla hopes to improve their previous performances and win at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán against the formidable Barcelona team.

Our Predictions

Barcelona to win by one goal @ 3.70 on Sky247.ng 

Their initiatives suggest that it shouldn't be a totally one-sided battle. Xavi's guys may win this game, given their present form.

They have also controlled previous encounters with Sevilla, having won the past four games and been unbeaten in 16 league games versus the visitors.

Since the Catalans have scored goals in 15 of their 25 games this season (60%), one goal might make all the difference.

Sevilla, meanwhile, lost 16 La Liga games this season, 12 of them by a single goal. Two of the previous four head-to-heads ended in a single goal for Barcelona.

Barcelona to win & Both teams to score@ 2.89 on Sky247.ng 

To consider that Barcelona scored thirty goals this season more than Sevilla is astounding. The visitors score 1.89 goals on average while playing away from home.

Goals were scored in 67% of both sides' league home and away games this season, so a goal at either end is probably in store on Sunday.

Having scored 83% of their home games, the hosts have struck 26 of their 47 goals.

The home supporters will be encouraged that their team can damage the visiting defense because Barca has let up 1.22 goals on average away from home this season.
