Barcelona is currently leading La Liga with 24 points, and on Sunday, they will face Sevilla at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Barcelona has been in top form, winning eight of their nine games despite numerous fitness issues. They have scored 28 goals, the most in the league. Sevilla, on the other hand, is in 12th place with 12 points, but their recent form is strong, having gained seven points in their last three games and losing only one of their last five.
Barcelona’s upcoming match against Sevilla is not without its challenges. The team will be without key players such as Ferran Torres, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, and Ronald Araujo. However, the resilience of the team is evident as Lewandowski and Yamal, despite recent injuries, are expected to play. While Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Dani Olmo are not expected to start, the team is ready to face the challenge. Even though Wojciech Szczesny is eligible, Inaki Pena is expected to stay within the goal.
Tanguy Nianzou is injured, so Saul Niguez and Djibril Sow will not play for Sevilla. Isaac Romero will likely stay up front, and Jose Angel Carmona is expected to start right-back instead of Jesus Navas.
Given Barcelona’s injury woes and Sevilla’s recent strong performances, betting on Sevilla +1.5 odds is a sound strategy for this game. Despite Barcelona’s recent wins, Sevilla’s form suggests they can keep the game competitive. Barcelona has shown resilience after their loss to Osasuna, but Sevilla’s strength and form make this a promising bet.
