In the run up to this week's free Barcelona vs Sevilla FC betting tips, Barca have lost just one out of twenty two games in all competitions. That single defeat resulted in a shock Champions League exit against Roma however. Barcelona have been imperious domestically in 2017/18, remaining unbeaten so far in La Liga. The league title looks a certainty, though the Copa del Rey could be their first silverware of the season.

Sevilla FC haven't won in seven, which are less than ideal preparations for a cup final against the country's strongest outfit. In fact, their only win in their last nine came in their 2-1 win at Old Trafford in the Champions League. Los Rojiblancos have since exited that competition, though they are still considered knock out tournament experts. They have won seven of their last eight matches in the Copa del Rey.

Barcelona vs Sevilla FC Prediction and Betting Advice

It's always smart to back Barca to win in the vast majority of matches they contest, and the first of our Barcelona vs Sevilla FC bets follows that rule. One defeat in twenty two matches is a staggering show of strength by Ernesto Valverde's men. Los Cules are a cut above the rest in Spain and their record in games against the Sevillistas is similarly dominant.

Barca are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Sevilla, a run which includes seven victories for the Catalans and one draw. That tie did happen earlier this season when the teams shared the points after a 2-2 draw at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán last month. However, with a trophy at stake, Barca are expected to be far more ruthless.

Lionel Messi and co have only lost one game domestically since last August and facing an opponent without a win in seven shouldn't represent much of a challenge to them.  Copa del Rey betting odds recommend you back Barca to win this weekend using the incredibly priced odds at William Hill. It's rare to see Los Cules priced so generously for any game, so our advice is to grab those odds while you can.

As strong as Valverde's side is in attack, they are prone to leaving the door open at the other end of the pitch. Their sometimes lack defending gave us plenty to ponder in the second of today's free Barcelona vs Sevilla FC predictions. Incredibly, the Blaugrana haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last six matches, conceding a total of ten goals during that period.

The notorious cup specialists from Seville have been scoring with regularity in the Copa del Rey this season. They have found the net at least twice in eight of their last nine contests in this competition. That's a fabulous goal getting record by anyone's standards and they have enough quality in attack to threaten the favourite's goal.

Furthermore, in three of the last four meetings between these clubs, both sides were able to register at least one goal each. In both of their La Liga clashes in 2017/18, each team got on the scoresheet too.
