This is a derby in this round of La Liga and it is played between two teams that are playing well in the Champions League as well, where they reached the quarterfinals. Also, these two teams will play the King’s Cup finals and that means that they are active on three fronts, however, when the championship is concerned, the difference is still enormous. Sevilla has failed in La Liga and are only fifth, and Barcelona is in the leading position with as much as 30 points more. Sevilla has been playing changeable recently, and Barcelona has celebrated four times in a row. In the first part of the season it was 2-1 for Barcelona.

FC Sevilla

Two defeats in the first two rounds of La Liga have definitely eliminated Sevilla from the fight for the fourth place, which could lead them to the Champions League through qualifiers next season. Particularly painful was the home defeat by Valencia, a team that is in the fourth place, and it was all spiced by a defeat against Leganes in the last round.

Between these two duels they played an excellent match in the Champions League against Manchester United and have passed in the quarterfinals, so that competition is now even more important than La Liga, but they are not allowed to relax completely because their fifth position is endangered. They have no major injuries and absences after the recovery of J.Navas, but Sarabie will not be in the team because he was excluded in the previous round, while Correa returns after a suspension for yellow cards.

Probable lineups FC Sevilla: S.Rico – Layun, Mercado, Lenglet, Escudero – N'Zonzi, Banega – Vazquez, Correa, Nolito – Muriel

FC Barcelona

Barcelona for now has no problems and everything goes according to the plan in the three competitions they play. They can relax the most in La Liga, because they have created a great advantage over their companions, and it is clear that they will not drop it till the end. There was a bit of anxiety before their derby with Atletico, but they won and now they have 11 points advantage again. After that, they made two more wins in the championship with 2-0 against Malaga as guests and Athletic Bilbao at home.

Meanwhile, after a draw in London in the Champions League, they have mastered the team of Chelsea without any problems at Nou Camp with 3-0 and they won the quarterfinals. They have some problems because Busquets is out of action, and Messi has not played friendly matches for Argentina. Ter Stegen also did not defend for Germany, but according to announcements both should be ready for this duel. The good news is that A.Gomes and another goalkeeper Cillessen have recovered, and they are likely to be on the bench.

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

Verdict:

Sevilla has failed in the championship and it best shown by their placement, but in this duel they will try to achieve a favourable result and they certainly can in their field. Barcelona is relieved when it comes to La Liga and they will be set like that at Sanchez-Pizjuan, so we expect goals on both sides of the field.
