It was a perfect weekend for Barcelona who increased the gap at the top of La Liga standings to seven points following Real Madrid’s shocking home defeat to Girona.Reigning champions did not shine at all in their own tie against Valladolid, but they managed to snatch a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to Lionel Messi’s penalty at Camp Nou.Blaugrana will thus travel to Andalusia with a relief knowing they can still afford a failure.
The visit to Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan is one of the toughest travels in the division. Sevilla lost just once in eleven games there this season.Los Rojiblancos have a fantastic home record of seven wins, three draws and one defeat.Given Barcelona’s shady form in recent outings, we’d be careful with the away win pick here.
