Barca eye win against Sevilla away
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Seville
Barcelona are currently leading the points table after 29 games with 75 points. They are on their way to winning the league this season.
Barca are in good form at the moment and won quite comfortably against the Athletic Club just before the international break. They will look to carry on the same form at the weekend.
Barcelona have also Champions League ambitions in mind as they move ahead. They would like to win the trophy this season as they face Roma in the quarter-finals in coming days.
On the other hand, Sevilla are 6th in the table and will be looking to have positive results ahead. Sevilla are by the way in good form at the moment having reached the quarter-finals of this season’s UEFA Champions League. They defeated Manchester United in the round of 16.
Barcelona lead the head to head against Sevilla though. They have won 31 of the 54 matches played between them so far. Sevilla have just won 11 games while 12 other games have been a draw.
