Barcelona are back in action with another crucial La Liga fixture this week as they travel to Andalusia to lock horns with Julen Lopetegui's Sevilla at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Tuesday.

Sevilla have been in impressive form so far this season and are in second place in the La Liga standings. The Andalusian outfit edged reigning champions Atletico Madrid to a 2-1 victory over the weekend and will want to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have endured a difficult campaign this year. The Catalan giants secured a crucial 3-2 victory against Elche in their previous game and will want to take it up a notch on Tuesday.

Sevilla vs Barcelona Prediction
Barcelona have largely struggled to impose themselves in La Liga this season but have shown signs of gradual improvement under Xavi. The Catalans were brilliant and circumspect in equal measure against Elche and cannot afford a similarly inconsistent performance against one of the best teams in the league.
