Sevilla will welcome Barcelona to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in the postponed La Liga matchday 4 clash on Tuesday. The kick-off is at 22:30 CEST.

Preview

Just three days following their hard-fought victory over Atletico Madrid on Saturday (2-1), Sevilla will be hosting struggling Barcelona. Lucas Ocampos' late winner over the weekend secured the Andalusians' third consecutive victory in the Spanish top flight and thus Julen Lopetegui's men have remained in second in the table with 37 points, six points behind and with a game in hand over leaders Real Madrid who couldn't beat Cadiz on Sunday (0-0).

Barca, meanwhile, will travel to Seville on the back of a much-needed 3-2 triumph over Elche on Saturday which ended their four-game winless streak across all competitions. Even following Xavi's appointment instead of Ronald Koeman hasn't really changed the level of the Blaugrana's performances as they continue to drop points against the likes of Osasuna and Betis. As a result, the Catalans sit in seventh in the league standings, 10 points adrift of their forthcoming opponents.

Team news

The hosts will again be without the services of Jesus Navas, Erik Lamela, Suso and Youssef En-Nesyri through injury. Sergino Dest, Sergi Roberto, Pedri, Ansu Fati, Yusuf Demir, Martin Braithwaite and most importantly Memphis Depay, meanwhile, will play no part for the visitors on Tuesday for the same reason.

Prediction

Well, it's hard to expect an entertaining contest from both sides in mid-week given that they've had only two days to prepare for Tuesday's encounter. Still, we would be hugely surprised if Barca manage to take any points at the Ramon Sachez Pizjuan this time around, given all their injury absentees and Sevilla's overall form this term so far. Thus. let's back Lopetegui's crop to continue their battle with Madrid for the 2021/22 La Liga title by taking all three points on Tuesday.
