Sevilla vs Barcelona

9/2- Sevilla have struck gold and have regained their lost form and appear to be on a winning streak and have managed to score 6 points in the last two matches. But this streak could be brought to an end as they get prepared to take on second placed Barcelona at home this week. While Sevilla are trying to jump up the ranks on the table Barcelona would be trying to have the last throw of dice in order to try and challenge Real Madrid for the title. Sevilla are placed 7^th on the table and their performance at home has been great this season and they have won 8 of the 11 matches played at home this season where as their opponents Barcelona have not performed as well while playing abroad and that would be one thing that could go against them. The last time both the teams met was earlier this season and Barca managed a 2-1 victory playing at home.

Sevilla would be playing at home and would expect a strong crowd support and like the last time both teams met at this venue they would like a positive winning result. Fabiano and Kanoute have been the two most influential players in the team in terms of scoring goals and both would have to play their best football in order to ensure that the side is able to outscore the visiting Barca team in order to win the match.

Barcelona on the other hand would be hoping to close down the gap between them and Real Madrid and would hope that Real lose another match like they did last week so that the points difference is cut down to three. Messi and Henry would have to fire in case the second placed team is wanting to climb to the top of the table.

Prediction: 2-2, draw
