Last round of 2-1 defeat, the team got 50 points at the halfway point, continue to lead the way. However, there is the same, the past 4 La Liga winning streak, Barcelona are 1 goal win over the opponent, the last 5 La Liga 4 games can only score 1 goal, the offensive performance is not eye-catching. The season started poorly, but under the leadership of Sampaoli, the team only lost 1 game in the past 10 games, the play has improved significantly. From this point of view, Barcelona will not be overheated at first glance in this game.
This winter window, Barcelona appeared to be relatively quiet, the team sold Depay outside the keep as is. In contrast, Sevilla action slightly more. From joining the center back Bard has been in the La Liga for 3 consecutive starts, becoming the main force in Seville's defense; winger Ao also returned from loan, and is currently Sampaoli's first choice in the offensive line. At the same time, the team also returned from the loan of the winger Brian Gil, midfielder Gaye also joined on loan, these two people are also selected in today's game list.
In this match, Barcelona's side of the lineup is quite complete, in addition to the injury absence, Levan and Ferran - have been released from suspension to return to the game. Left back Balde was previously suffering from flu fever, so he was selected for the game list should also be given the start to Alaba. On Sevilla's side, the good news is that striker Lamela is back from suspension, and he's likely to start in place of center forward Ennisiri and Ocampos in the attacking line. The bad news is that Navas, the team's captain, was injured in the last round of matches, and the other wingback Tellez, winger Corona and Papu Gomez will be absent due to injuries. As a result, Sevilla's two wingbacks will be a combination tonight, with Acuña at left back and Montiel at right back. In contrast, Montiel's ability is a bit more of a concern, having started both the 0-3 Barcelona and the big 1-3 loss games in La Liga this season.
