The other quarter-final of the Copa del Rey is a much more competitive match that will be played on Wednesday, when Sevilla will play host to Barcelona in what should be an exciting match. Sevilla are coming off consecutive losses and will be looking for some stability, while Barcelona have been in the opposite side of things.

Sevilla were doing a great job in their away match against Real Madrid over the weekend but conceded two late goals to eventually lose by 0-2. Prior to that they met with Athletic Bilbao in consecutive matches for the league and Cup and lost both without even scoring. Sevilla are now sitting 4th in the league table with 33 points, three behind Real Madrid. They have been really good at home this season 12-2-2, losing just once in their last 12 (10-1-1). Barcelona were temporarily equalized in their home match against Leganes on Sunday but scored two more goals to eventually win by 1-3. That was their third consecutive win, all at home and scoring three goals in each match. Barcelona are still leading the La Liga with 46 points, five ahead of Atletico Madrid. They have been equally good on the road so far (9-2-3), winning four of their last five and scoring at least twice in each match.

Barcelona beat Sevilla by 2-4 at home when the two teams met in the first round of the La Liga and haven’t lost to Sevilla since 2015 (9-0-2 in all competitions). Moreover, they have been tremendous in this venue over the past decade, losing just two of the 16 matches here (9-2-5). Sevilla will try to take whatever advantage they can from the first leg and that could lead to a high-scoring match.
