The confrontation between Sevilla vs FC Barcelona is by far the derby of the current La Liga stage. Surprisingly, this game is scheduled at an hour that can not bring the number of viewers it deserves. The match was played on 17.15 on Saturday at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Sevilla: current form, latest results, statistics
Sevilla had to play the return of the Europa League on Wednesday with Lazio. He managed to win 2-0 and climbed to the finals. After the tournament he allowed himself to easily treat the game with Villareal, lost 0-3. Now is a very important meeting with Barcelona, one that certainly will not treat it the same.
Machin was pleased with what he did with Lazio, but he immediately thought about the next game. In Copa del Rey he managed to defeat Barcelona 2-0, only then was a double, and in return the Catalans have achieved a definite success and have qualified further.
Sevilla ranks fourth in the standings, but retains only one point ahead of the followers of Getafe and Alaves. And these are not the only threats. From 4th to 10th is a difference of only 6 points and there can be any changes in the ranking.
Let’s look at the last 5 results:
- 02.02.19 Celta Vigo vs Sevilla 1-0
- 10.02.19 Sevilla vs Eibar 2-2
- 14.02.19 Lazio vs Sevilla 0-1 (Europa League)
- 17.02.19 Villareal vs Sevilla 3-0
- 20.02.19 Sevilla vs Lazio 2-0 (Europa League)
It is a full season for Sevilla, which has held 5 games only in February, so far. It remains to be seen if he can recover in time for one of the toughest exams this season.
Wissam Ben Yedder is in a great shape and scores almost every game. He has managed 11 successes in La Liga. He also scored on Wednesday with Lazio in the Europa League. Immediately behind him was Andre Silva, with 9 goals, and Pablo Sarabia, with 8. And Sarabia enrolled on Wednesday …
FC Barcelona: current form, latest results, statistics
Barcelona was the winning team of the last round. Even if he only defeated Valladolid, he has increased his advantage over Real Madrid to 9 points, and the direct match is no longer so important. Now the advance towards the second team, Atletico, is 7 points.
It is worth noting that I have seen a more reserved Barcelona lately, which is no longer able to enroll on the conveyor belt. In the last 5 games, in all competitions, he won only once, that success with Valladolid. He scored only four times in these meetings.
Tuesday went to France to play the Champions League tour with Lyon. As we have been accustomed to lately, it was an annoying match, with no goals. The qualification decision remains to be taken to Camp Nou, where the Catalan team is a real force.
Let’s also see the series of the last 5 games:
- 02.02.19 Barcelona vs Valencia 2-2
- 06.02.19 Barcelona vs Real Madrid 1-1 (Copa del Rey)
- 10.02.19 Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona 0-0
- 16.02.19 Barcelona vs Valladolid 1-0
- 19.02.19 Lyon vs Barcelona 0-0 (Champions League)
Barcelona remains the best team on the move, from where it brought 4 points more than any other opponent. He also has a defeat in that surprise in the Leganes championship tour. Now the really tough matches come with Sevilla and Real Madrid.
It is a dense time for Barcelona, the team that is involved in 3 competitions. He has a very difficult program to continue playing with Real Madrid on Wednesday, Wednesday and Saturday.
Lionel Messi has scored 21 goals scored in La Liga this season. He is seconded by Luis Suarez who scored only 13 times. Only in the next period is worth trying to put money on urugauyan, because he has not signed up for 4 matches.
Sevilla vs FC Barcelona: Direct Matches
Sevilla has often been a difficult opponent for Barcelona. If we look at the last 5 games played on Sanchez Pizjuan, we see that the Catalan team has only won 2 times.
Sevilla vs FC Barcelona Picks
Both teams were involved in Europe in the middle of this week. Seville had the chance to chat at home and escaped the fatigue of the trip. The Andalusian team needs a great result with Barcelona not to lose their current position in the league. It will be difficult, but if we take into account the weaker form of the Catalans, everything can become possible.
