Sevilla - Barcelona (Primera Division)

In a derby match of the 31st round of the Spanish Primera Division, Sevilla face against Barcelona. The meeting of "Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan" is on Saturday, 11 April 2015. The two panels always make us witnesses of very interesting and intense clashes against each other, so now it will be the same. The rivals come into this match in a strong current shape and for both teams the victory is more than mandatory, as the Catalan giants are in a battle with Real Madrid for the first place, and the hosts of Andalusia are involved in the fight for a place in the Champions League this fall. World bookmakers give preference to Barcelona by a factor of 1.55, while the success of Sevilla is considered to 5.00-6.00, and the draw is 4.50. Both teams have very important meetings of tournaments next week. The hosts take Russian Zenit in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, as Barcelona welcomes French PSG in the Champions League.

Sevilla is on the fifth place with 61 points collected. The team led by Unai Emery is in battle with Valencia and Atletico Madrid for a place in the top 4 and any loss of points will reduce its chances of participation in the playoffs of the Champions League next season. Sevilla offers more than great football recently, as is located in a series of seven consecutive wins in all competitions. We can`t ignore the incredible representation on its " Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan". Sevilla is unbeaten here for 14 months and the last team that beat them in their stadium is today`s rival Barcelona.

Barcelona continues to lead the standings in La Liga with a total of 74 points. "Catalans" have a lead of four points over the second Real Madrid, but it does not have to be calm. There are not so many rounds till the end of the season and every game from now will be like a final for Barcelona. Namely the upcoming match with Sevilla is one of the most serious difficulties in the remaining matches until the end of the championship. If they grab the three points here, hardly will miss the title, as they did last season. Barcelona is also in very strong form; having on its account nine consecutive wins in all competitions.

Prediction: 1X @ 2.50 at Betfair
