BACK FOR MORE WINNERS: Our La Liga expert GREG WALKER was in top form last week with both bets obliging in the LAS PALMAS V CELTA VIGO game. He now looks at Sevilla v Barcelona on Sunday.
Sevilla FC v FC Barcelona
7.45pm Week Eleven Of Spains La Liga and it’s been a topsy-turvy season so far with no one team kicking on as of yet. Spanish teams in Europe this week had a poor week by their usual high standards however Sevilla looked impressive yet again and now look forward to hosting champions Barcelona on Sunday evening.
FC Barcelona come in to this game on the back of a Manchester mauling in what is now a huge game in the Liga title race. Rumours are rife that Gerard Pique could make an early comeback from injury and even though Barcelona are in dire straits in the centre back position, this would be a huge and desperate risk by manager Luis Enrique in my opinion. Whilst Suarez, Neymar and Messi will pose their normal threat, it is in heart of the Barcelona defence, specifically Javier Mascherano masquerading as a centre-back, that Sevilla can and will gain success.
Whilst the visitors employ some of the greatest players on the planet, the home side host a player who has simply been majestic in La Liga this Season. Steven Nzonzi, yes, the guy who used to play for Blackburn and Stoke, has been the player of the season in Spain this year. The holding midfielder can boss this game as he did at home to Atletico Madrid two weeks ago in which he also scored the winning goal. It is rare indeed that an Atletico Madrid midfield gets outplayed and with Barcelona missing the brilliant Anders Iniesta, Sevilla’s manager will have Nzonzi set up for a same again routine and Nzonzi is definitely more than capable of producing a similar performance on Sunday night.
Sevilla are a hard working, disciplined side that play an entertaining style of football. In football trading, you won’t get rich taking on FC Barcelona however, I really like the look of this Sevilla side and I recommend a straightforward LAY of BARCELONA At odds on 1.7 on BETDAQ.
Greg’s Tip:
LAY BARCELONA – 4 POINTS @ 1.7
