Sevilla will host Barcelona in the first leg of the Spanish Cup semi-final on Wednesday. The kick-off is at 21:00 CET.
Preview
Both Sevilla and Barca have been in great form of late as they've won seven and six games on the bounce across all competitions respectively ahead of their head-to-head meeting at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. What's more, Julen Lopetegui's side conceded only once during their winning run, including Saturday's 3-0 victory over Getafe in La Liga. The Catalans, on the other hand, haven't been that much confident defensively in the past few weeks. The Blaugrana's most recent wins over Granada (5-3) and Betis (3-2) serve as clear indication of that unwanted trend.
While the hosts' captain Jesus Navas remains doubtful for the upcoming encounter, Ivan Rakitic has served his one-game suspension and is set to start on Wednesday.
Ronald Koeman's side, on the other hand, will be without eight first-team players in Seville - Gerard Pique, Philippe Coutinho. Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto, Sergino Dest, Ronald Araujo, Miralem Pjanic and Martin Braithwaite.
Prediction
Barca and Sevilla shared points in their league encounter at Camp Nou in October (1-1) and we expect this clash to end in a similar way. With the hosts' exceptional defensive form and all the injury absentees in Koeman's squad, the teams are likely to set up the return tie at Camp Nou with a narrow draw in Seville.
Tip
Total under 2.5 at 2.105 with 1XBET.
