Sevilla vs Barcelona 21.12.2021

Sevilla underlined their title credentials with a crucial 2-1 win over defending Champions Atletico Madrid, a win that consolidated their hold on the second spot, just 6 points off the leaders Real Madrid, but importantly with a game in hand. With the leaders dropping points at Cadiz, a win here for Los Nervionenses will shave the deficit to just 3 points.

Barcelona are very much a club in transition at the moment. Xavi’s appointment saw the start off with a bang but a series of poor results has seen them take a couple of steps back. They bounced back at the weekend though with a 3-2 win over Elche but despite that win, they are still outside the European football places looking in.

We expect this will be a close affair here but we fancy Sevilla to just about edge it with a +1 handicap.
