Sevilla vs Barcelona: forecast and bets with odds of 3.75

In the upcoming La Liga match between Sevilla and Barcelona, a cautious game with few goals is expected. Sevilla, returning to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, will try to use the support of the home stands, but Quique Sanchez Flores' team focuses on organized defense, especially against top clubs. In six of the last seven home matches of the Andalusians in all competitions, no more than two goals were scored, which confirms their pragmatic style of play.

Barcelona, despite its high attacking potential, has difficulty realizing its chances in away matches.The Catalans have scored just two goals in their last three La Liga away games, and their erratic away performances are forcing them to act more cautiously. Historically, meetings between Sevilla and Barcelona at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan have often been inconclusive - in three of the last five matches at this stadium, a total of less than 2.5 goals was recorded. Taking into account the organized defense of Sevilla and the difficulties of Barcelona in realizing the chances on the road, we expect poor performance in this match.

Our forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals, a coefficient of 1.95

Betting on the outcome

The match promises to be difficult for both teams, but the visitors look like a clear favorite. The Catalans have gained good form, extending their unbeaten streak to ten matches, and are seeking to take advantage of the face-to-face confrontation between the Madrid clubs in order to reduce the gap in the fight for the top positions. Despite the unstable performances on the road, Xavi's players have enough class to confidently cope with Sevilla, especially given the personnel problems of the hosts. Sevilla have not beaten Barcelona in La Liga for 18 matches and could extend their worst streak against the Catalans. Moreover, in four of the last five face-to-face meetings, Barca won by a margin of two or more goals. Taking into account the difference in the level of play and the current form, we expect that the guests will confidently achieve victory.

Prediction — Barcelona win by two goals, coefficient 3.75

Betting on statistics

The match between Sevilla and Barcelona promises to be full of corner kicks. Barcelona traditionally uses flank attacks and a high percentage of possession, which leads to a lot of shots and shots from a sharp angle. In the last five matches of the Catalans in La Liga, the average total of corners exceeded 10, and in their away matches this figure is even higher. Sevilla, in turn, plays defensively, but at the same time actively uses standards. Their home matches often take place with an abundance of corners, as the team is forced to defend and kick the ball behind the front line. Taking into account Barca's attacking style and the periodic failures of the hosts in defense, we expect a large number of corners.

The forecast is that the total number of corners is more than 9.5, the coefficient is 1.90
