On Sunday night, Sevilla hosts Barcelona at the Sanchez Pizjuan in gameweek 38 of La Liga.
Sevilla are ending the campaign with a whimperThe Andalusians are in 14th place in the table going into this final gameweek clash. They could finish anywhere between 11th and 15th in the standings.
Quique Sanchez Flores’s team has struggled for form lately, winning just one of the last five games in La Liga and suffering three straight defeats in the Spanish top-flight. They have also failed to score in their previous two Liga matches.
Sevilla’s recent home record in the Spanish top flight has been highly inconsistent. The home team has won two and lost two of their last four home games in La Liga.
Their recent La Liga matches on home soil have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games.
This fixture's recent history is against the home team, who have failed to win against Barcelona in seven games, suffering six defeats and picking up just one draw.
Barcelona are finishing the season in strong formThe Catalan giants will finish as runners-up in La Liga after a strong finish to their Liga campaign.
The Blaugrana won 3-0 at home against Rayo Vallecano last time out, meaning they have won four of their previous five games in the Spanish top flight.
The visitors have also been highly potent in front of goal lately in La Liga, scoring at least two goals in their last six games in the Spanish top flight.
Barcelona's recent away record has been inconsistent. On their travels, they have won just three of their last six La Liga matches.
However, Xavi’s team have been prolific on their travels in the Spanish top flight, having scored at least two goals in eight of their last ten away matches.
What am I backing?Barcelona are clear favourites to win this encounter, but they are not great travellers. I do believe this game will be high-scoring, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
