Sevilla -Barcelona Tip
At this stage, Sevilla FC are the only Spanish side still within immediate reach of leaders Real Madrid. The gap is currently six points, but Sevilla have also played one game less. Recently, the Sevillistas have been doing extremely well again, with three wins in a row. Barcelona, on the other hand, are still struggling, but after two games without a win, they have managed to pick up three points again. Sevilla FC will now be looking for the next success
Sevilla Form & Balance Check
For Sevilla FC, the 2021/22 season continues to go absolutely according to plan. 37 points after 17 games is the best haul for the hosts in ages and at the moment there is no reason to believe that Julen Lopetegui’s side will soon fall off the wagon. Most recently, the Sevillistas have won three games in a row. Against Villarreal and at Athletic Bilbao both with 1-0 and last weekend against Atletico Madrid with 2-1. Lucas Ocampos scored the important 2-1 winner only in the 88th minute.
Lopetegui eleven with different faces
In the top flight, however, the Spaniards have not been able to confirm the strong performances from the league. In the feasible group with VfL Wolfsburg, RB Salzburg and OSC Lille, the Spaniards have only picked up a single win in six games. Six points from six games were only enough for third place in Group G, which in turn means that Sevilla FC will be competing in the Europa League again next year. But before that, a successful end to the year in the league should be achieved with the eighth home win in the ninth home game of the season.
Sevilla Facts & Analysis
– 37 points from 17 games
– Last win 2:1 against Atletico Madrid
– 8 home wins from 9 home games
– Only failed to score in 2 games this season
Barcelona form & balance check
After only one point from two games previously, FC Barcelona just managed to stave off a third consecutive winless game against seventeenth-placed Elche in the table last weekend. The early 2:0 lead by the youngsters Jutgla (16th) and Gavi (19th) was initially equalised by the outsiders with a lightning double strike in the 62nd and 63rd minute. In the 85th minute, however, Nico, who is only 19 years old, managed to score the redemptive 3:2 victory goal.
Barca faces a difficult second half of the season
From a table point of view, this victory was extremely important in order not to lose touch with the coveted Champions League places. Nevertheless, at this point in time it is doubtful that the Catalans will be in one of the top four places after the 38th matchday. Every single victory has been an extremely hard piece of work for FC Barcelona in recent weeks and months. There is currently no trace of ease and playful brilliance. It would be quite surprising if this young team could suddenly bring the necessary consistency to its game in the coming calendar year.
Barcelona facts & analysis
– 27 points from 17 games
– Last win 3:2 against Elche
– Won only 3 of last 9 matches
– Won only 1 of 8 away games
Predicted lineup – last updated Dec 20, 2021
The hosts will have to do without Erik Lamela, Youseff En-Nesyri, Suso and Jesus Navas. However, since this is nothing new compared to the last match, the personnel might not change for the time being.
FC Barcelona will be without many important players: Martin Braithwaite, Pedri, Ansu-Fati, Memphis Depay, Sergio Rest, Yusuf Demir and Segri Roberto. However, the starting eleven could remain unchanged compared to the 3:2 against Elche.
