Pre-match information:
Date: on the 23th of January, 2019 (Wednesday)
Match start: 21:30 (GMT+1)
Tournament: The Copa del Rey. 1/4 final. 1st game.
In the first match of the ¼ final of the Copa del Rey Sevilla will play against Barcelona.
The Ones from Nervión are undergoing their worst period as they have lost three last matches in a row.
To tell the truth, one of these matches was the Copa tournament match and due to the outcome of the first match Sevilla has moved further.
But three defeats signal about some problems in the team of Pablo Machin.
And Barcelona doesn’t have any serious problems and the team has lost one match out of 12 last matches in the Copa del Rey but this didn’t influence on the final outcome of the match against Levante.
Blaugrana is not always good in goal-scoring chance conversion though in the majority of matches the football players didn’t have any problems.
Barcelona didn’t leave the field without the scored goal this season: this concerns all the competitions in which the team of Ernesto Valverde takes place.
Bearing in mind the fact that Sevilla experience some problems we suppose that the number of scored goals won’t be great.
The Ones from Nervión are good in defense despite some problems in attack and they are playing on home arena.
That is why we believe that some goals will be scored but not many: Sevilla will keep some chances for a return leg in the capital of Catalonia.
