The Storyline: Sevilla vs Barca Betting Odds
Sevilla is just one point behind Deportivo in the hunt for the last Champions League spot in Spain, but they’ve lost their last three in the league. Barca is still unbeaten in La Liga play, leading Real Madrid by two points. These two have played twice in the last week in the Copa Del Rey (Spain’s version of the FA Cup), and Sevilla knocked Barca out of the competition, so revenge will be on the menu on Saturday.
Offensive Matchup: Sevilla vs Barca Betting Odds
Sevilla is fifth in La Liga in goals with 28, but only 12 have come away from home. Their top two scorers aren’t with the club as Luis Fabiano has been out since December, while Fredi Kanoute is representing Mali at the African Cup of Nations. This means the scoring responsibilities will now fall to Renato and Alvaro Negredo.

Defensive Matchup: Sevilla vs Barca Betting Odds
Sevilla hasn’t kept a clean sheet in five matches, allowing two goals in four of those five games. For Sevilla to improve their soccer betting odds in your sportsbook, they’ll have to tighten up on defense, because they won’t be able to outscore the likes of Barca or Madrid with their lineup.
Barca has allowed the fewest goals in the league with 10, and they have kept clean sheets in their last two matches. Only four times has Barca let their opponents score more than once, but one of those times was January 5th’s shock 2-1 loss to Sevilla in the Copa Del Rey.

Outlook and Pick: Sevilla vs Barca Betting Odds
Barca has won five and drawn three of their last 10 league matches against Sevilla, and they’ll be eager to dish out some payback on Saturday. It was Barca’s defense that let them down in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey, and they haven’t allowed a goal in two games since. Sevilla can’t be expected to score twice again at the Camp Nou, and Barca is prolific at home. Go with the champions this weekend.
