Barcelona vs Sevilla Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Barcelona are at 2/9 to win, a draw is at 11/2, and a Sevilla win is at 10/1.

A Sevilla win or a draw is at 10/3 should you choose to take the double chance.

Both teams to score is set at 8/15 for yes and 11/8 for no.

A 1-0 win for Barcelona at full time could get you 30/1 odds if correct.

Reason: The bookmakers are firmly in Barca's corner here due to how they have been playing of late.  Their win over PSG should serve notice to everyone, but they have also been very dominant against Sevilla both in recent times and throughout the history of the fixture. 

Team News

Luis Enrique will be unable to call upon winger Arda Turan and full back Aleix Vidal due to injuries.  Lionel Messi will be available to play after being suspended at the weekend.

Key Man

Lionel Messi is back, and it's sure to be with a little bit of anger.  He was suspended by FIFA for actions over the international break and then missed out against Granada. They'll be malice in his heart, and poor Sevilla will be at the brunt of it.  Messi already has a ridiculous total of 25 goals in the league (in 25 appearances) to pace the way.  He's also got nine assists, because he has brilliant players all around him.  He could go for a whole hat's worth of goals if he wants to here.

Team Form

Barcelona have four wins and one loss in their last five in all competitions.  They won 1-4 away to Granada on Sunday.

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Team News

Jorge Sampaoli will be without goalkeeper David Soria, right back Gabriel Mercado, center back Nicolas Pareja, attacking midfielder Ganso, and left winger Michael Krohn-Delhi for this match.  

Key Man

After failing to score at Leicester City, the confidence has been absolutely sapped from the side from Seville.  They now need to find that, but where can they look?  One place to look, albeit an unlikely one, is at left back via Sergio Escudero.  Escudero was perhaps the best performer for Sevilla against the Foxes in their entire round of 16 tie.  The 27 year old put in great cross after cross, and he served up an assist as well to give them hope in the first leg.  Can he do the same for Sevilla or will they not let him get hold of the ball?

Team Form

Sevilla have three draws and two losses in their last five matches in all competitions.  They drew 0-0 at home to Sporting Gijon on Sunday in a frustrating affair.

Expected Line-up: 5-4-1

Sevilla have struggled of late, and Barcelona seem to have hit the next gear finally. They did have a slip up a couple of matches back, but that is normal for this side after such a huge win. Because of the way these sides play, Sevilla may never see themselves get out of danger. This could spell absolute disaster for them as the Catalan giants are just so good when in possession of the football. If Sevilla can\'t get out or trouble them, then it could turn into quite a long night. And that looks like it will happen this time around, yet again for Sevilla. Remember, this is the side that used to be managed by current PSG manager Unai Emery.

Sevilla haven\'t won any of their last five matches, so they will have little confidence ahead of this daunting trip to Barcelona.
