Copa del Rey: Sevilla vs Barcelona preview

Sevilla have won their last seven games across all competitions, six of those without conceding. Julen Lopetegui's men are currently fourth in the LaLiga standings with 41 points from 21 games. Sevilla overcame Leganes in the Round of 32 of the Copa del Rey before easing past Valencia and beating Almeria to book their place in the semi-final of the competition. 

On the other hand, Barcelona have also hit a purple patch, winning six league games in a row. Ronald Koeman's men earned a dramatic 3-2 win over Real Betis over the weekend to keep alive their slim hopes of winning the Spanish league. La Blaugrana needed extra time to overcome Cornella and Granada in two of the previous three rounds of the Copa del Rey, with the other victory in the competition coming against Rayo Vallecano.

Sevilla vs Barcelona team news, injuries and suspensions 

For Sevilla, Ivan Rakitic is available following a one-match suspension. Diego Carlos has also recovered from COVID-19 and is expected to start alongside Jules Konde in the heart of the Sevilla defence. 

Barcelona were dealt with another defensive injury blow as Ronald Araujo suffered an ankle injury during the win over Betis. Gerard Pique, Philippe Coutinho and Ansu Fati are long-term absentees for the Catalan giants. Lionel Messi is likely to partner Antoine Griezmann in attack for Barcelona on Wednesday night. 

Sevilla vs Barcelona prediction

Sevilla's defensive record over the past few weeks has been thoroughly impressive. However, with Lionel Messi in their squad, Barcelona are still favourites to win the first leg of the semi-final. Our prediction for the game, however, is a 1-1 draw.
