Barcelona are without defeat in 33 games in a row. And this streak started after the loss at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
But now Barcelona are so good, so airy, so beautiful, so effective, I do not know how can Sevilla oppose them. Moreover, Sevilla are returning from a very difficult route, playing in the second leg of the Europa League against Molde in Norway. It was cold and the field was artificial.
As of this match, it seems to me that Sevilla know it’s fatal to play an open game against Barcelona and will try to play tight in defense in the first half. What do Barcelona like? They exhaust their opponents, stifling them with passing, constant movements. And in the second half, the opponents are fatigued. Like it was with Arsenal, Celta.
So, I’m picking over 1.5 goals from Barcelona in the second half at 1.8.
