Sevilla FC vs Barcelona Preview

 

Sevilla FC vs Barcelona

Competition – Spanish Primera

Stadium – Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan

Date: 31st  March 2018

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

With these two teams having Champions League quarterfinals commitment to look forward to next week, we may see their respective managers do some rotations here.

Sevilla may be performing giant killing acts in the Champions League, but they have struggled in the league since Vincenzo Montella took charge.

If they lose here, it would be their third consecutive league defeat and they have 8 losses in 15 games at the moment also.

More troubling is their home form as they have just 2 wins from their last 7 home games in the league and they have lost 3 of their last 6 under Montella.

Barcelona would feel Sevilla a the team that needs to rotate here as they themselves don’t play in the Champions League until Wednesday and they are expected to beat AS Roma.

Lionel Messi was rested by Argentina throughout the international break and he should be fresh ahead of this game.

The Argentine has netted in his last 6 games also.

Barce have won their last five meetings with Sevilla and they have 4 wins from their last 6 visits at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium.
