Barcelona Sevilla match preview

The Cup finals is a chance for both teams to come to the first trophy this season, with the proviso that this is the only opportunity for Sevilla, because of their poor placement in the championship and their elimination from the Champions League. Barcelona was also eliminated from the Champions League and it is a big disappointment to them, however, they have secured a championship title. After their defeat from Roma, they made a victory and a defeat in the championship, while Sevilla is without a win for seven matches in all competitions. In two championship duels this season, Barcelona was more successful with the home win and the guest draw. This duel is played on neutral ground in Madrid.

Barcelona

Barcelona hoped that they would win the first of the three possible trophies in this final, but in the meantime they were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and their plans got spoiled, and the automatically it became a big obligation to win the Cup, because only one trophy will not satisfy the appetite of the Catalan giant. This trophy is a safe deal, and they are only waiting for the mathematical confirmation of the title of the champions, and even that draw with Celta as guests did not spoil their chances.

Coach Valverde has performed with a combined team in Vigo, knowingly resting the best players for this finale, but he was heavily criticized, because there were no players from Barcelona in the team. He is now bringing all his best players, including Rakitic who has recovered and is available to play against his former club.

Probable lineups FC Barcelona: ter Stegen – S.Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, J.Alba – Busquets, Rakitić, Iniesta – Messi, L.Suarez, Coutinho

Sevilla

Considering that this is the only chance to win the trophy, this match of particular importance for Sevilla because of the fact that the victory automatically brings them placement in the Europa League. Due to poor appearances in the championship they have been left out of the chance to qualify in the Champions League, and it is questionable whether they will win positions for placement in Europa League, so all dilemmas can be solved in this finals. Of course, it is easier said than done, because this is a tough opponent who is strongly motivated to defend the title in the Cup. Sevilla, on the other hand, is in a very bad shape and this is definitely not good before this finals.

Last time they celebrated was in mid-March when Manchester United defeated them in the Champions League. They have played seven games since then and with four draws they have been defeated three times. After a debacle in Vigo, they were eliminated from the Champions League after a draw in Munich, after which they played two more in the championship. Against Villarreal they were saving 0-2 and in La Coruna they played a match without goals. Coach Montella has rested most of his best players, but they are now entering the finals with his strongest team.

Probable lineups FC Sevilla: Soria – J.Navas, Mercado, Lenglet, Escudero – N'Zonzi, Banega – Sarabia, Vazquez, Correa – Muriel

Verdict:

Barcelona is a big favourite in this game because they are better individually and better in a better form but Sevilla has nothing to lose and this team is certainly in a good position to play a good match and if anything else they can cause a lot of problems for the Catalans.
