Since FR didnt made this preview lets do it here since an important game between 2 2nd leg power horses, Sevilla unbeaten in their ground for 15 month ( 31 games ).

Sevilla :

With seven points separating Sevilla from fourth-placed Valencia at the beginning of March, you could have been forgiven for believing that Unai Emery's side had blown their chances of qualifying for the Champions League.

Yet, when high-flying Barca come to town on Saturday, the hosts know that just a point may be enough to take them above Los Che and into the top four ahead of the remaining eight games.

It has certainly been a spirited comeback by the Rojiblancos in a thrilling top-four face, with Emery's men winning five successive Liga outings to put them right back in contention for Europe's elite competition next season - only goal difference has them fifth.

It was a thrilling 4-3 win at Deportivo La Coruna on March 7 that appears to have proven a watershed moment in their season, with victories against Elche, Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao and Levante all following in a run of form that is almost certain to have grabbed Barcelona's attention.

Barcelona :

While Sevilla promise to be no push-overs, Enrique's men are the only side in the Primera Division in a better run of form than the Rojiblancos as Barcelona come into this one on the back of a 4-0 thumping of Almeria - a victory that extended their winning streak to six games.

You could argue that Barca's fortunes changed on February 21 after losing 2-1 at home to Malaga in a defeat that left them four points behind leaders Real Madrid. Fast forward 49 days and it's the Blaugrana who lead the way in La Liga - four points clear of their El Clasico rivals.

In a title race that has already produced a number of twists and turns, Barca will surely be keeping the champagne on ice for the moment but victory at the Ramon Sanchez Pijuan may give them license to dream of a first title since 2013.

Five of their last eight opponents currently sit in the bottom half of La Liga, with a visit to defending champions Atletico Madrid in the penultimate matchday arguably the trickiest outing that they have left this season.

Victory here, though, and the result at Atletico may not matter a great deal by the time May 17 comes around.

Still, it could prove to be a season-defining few weeks for Barcelona, whose next three games include top-four hopefuls Valencia and home and away to Paris Saint-Germain in a Champions League quarter-final tie.

Team News :

Emery is expected to recall star striker Carlos Bacca to his first XI after the Colombian dropped to the bench for the 2-1 win at Levante despite scoring in the 2-0 win at Athletic Bilbao at the weekend. Aleix Vidal, who scored the other goal, was also dropped and he could return to action too.

Meanwhile, Barcelona could welcome Neymar back into the fold to restore the team's star-studded attacking trident alongside Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi. The Brazilian dropped to the bench for the 4-0 win over Almeria, with Enrique later explaining that exhaustion was the reason behind his omission, as Pedro deputised.

A troublesome foot injury threatened Messi's participation on Wednesday, but the Argentine curled home a fantastic opener against Almeria to quell fears over that issue. Sergio Busquets, who sat out the win through suspension, could return.

Enrique also has a big decision to make at left-back as Jordi Alba, who has missed their last two games with a hamstring injury, trained on Thursday. With Adriano impressing in his stead, however, the Barca coach may allow the Brazilian to deputise once more.

Sevilla possible starting lineup:
Rico; Tremoulinas, Figueiras, Kolodzieczak, Pareja; Krychowiak, Iborra; Carrico, Vidal, Vitolo; Bacca

Barcelona possible starting lineup:
Bravo; Alves, Mathieu, Pique, Adriano; Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta; Neymar, Suarez, Messi

My prediction : 2-3 or 1-3 hopefully.

1 - 3 for Barca

Vermaelen back to training, after succesful operation 5 month ago to get full recovery and following a psy to get prepared mentally after all the dificult periods he got in his career.
Barça now have 0 serious injuries, Messi isnt at 100% since Man City game and Dimichelis tackle, his right foot looked touched he doesnt use it lately and makes him more predictible and take pace from him, but he still dangerous even not a 100%.

Rakitic return to Sevilla would be the player to watch, if he could confirm against his previews teammates, that would boost his confidence.

Two dagerous away games remaining ( all are importants but those 2 are the most complicated ) : Atletico and Sevilla.
Hosting Valencia in Camp Nou...

If Barça gets 3 points, they will increase drastically their chances of winning the league without looking to Madrid results.

Vermaelen back to training? Finally, I still find it's quite bizzarre about this transfer. But good news for Barca

He didnt costed much, he had a performences contract, if he didnt play the transfer price was drastically reduced, i think he costed 5M but nobody is blaming him, i guess he is the first one to want to play and recover, it was more Zubizaretta mistake and he paid for it...
Barça decided to take time with him to prevent him from future injuries, so the day he will come back, he will be less exposed to injury...

1-2 for Barcelona for me. Sevilla are great at organization, but their offense isn't as threatening. I think Messi and Suarez will bail Barcelona out by scoring one goal each.

Lol so much drama . did not barcelona beat them 5-1 in november and year before that 4-1 in sevila .

9 wins 0 looses . It will be a win . 4-1 for Barca

Entertaining game. Was surprised that Bacca was taken off, but Gameiro came up with the goods. Happy Barca dropped some points. :)

Good day good day la liga on fire bae baeeee

I was fearing this, they didnt lost for 15 month, Barça got the game in their hands, 2 mistakes from the 2 players that saved barça the most this year, Bravo and Piqué...
Replacing Neymar for Xavi was like WTF Enrique ? Iniesta should have been replaced way earlier, Xavi for Iniesta was the right replacement or even Rafinha for Iniesta...
He tried a Mourinho, Barça just dont set back, we got surprised by a counter, you just dont expect Barça to park a bus Enrique, we have the control of the ball how could they give it to opposition for the last 10 mins...

Anyway, wont take credit from Sevilla, when i told you Sevilla/Valencia are obviously better teams than City or Liverpool maybe others too...

@Tiki

I don't think anyone doubts that Sevilla/Valencia are better than Liverpool.

Look at the players gone from Sevilla past 10 years, Sergio Ramos, Daniel Alves, Jesus Navas, Kanoute, Luis Fabiano, Seidou Keita, Rakitic, Adriano.... And the list is long.
What fight Marcus ? Thats reality, in 4 games VS City in 2 years, not even stressed once even in the two away games, while VS Sevilla, the second goal was comming and many got this feeling...

Sevilla obviously a better team hype aside. Valencia even better at the same level of Atletico...

@tiki

IF you per once be reasonable like you are supposedly in politics , you would see things more clearly . Not cloud yourself with obsession to prove your point . We had SO MANY discussions !!! EPL fans are not starting this discussion , it is always you or some other la liga fan , because you have a point to prove . We don't , we proved ours.

CL was dreadful but it is all little set back . We are calm and very excited about EPL future and current state , seems like it only worries you .

Lets keep it on topic guys. This is about the Sevilla-Barca game. If you want to compare La Liga teams with EPL teams, make a new thread.

Obviously wont admit it :) keep your meaningless comments with 0 arguments, dont care about the future and fu*k TV rights :) speaking about the future and YOU KNOW THE TRUTH about the present...

so sevilla drew against barca and now sevilla is better than city liverpool and united? lol what kind of logic is that, so crystal palace won against city 2-1 so that means that crystal palace and barca are on the same level? hell no.

barca won against an out of form city and now people think la liga is the best lol

barca is 1st place in la liga and city is 4th in BPL, and spanish teams haven't proved anything this year so you laliga fanboys need to calm your tits until real or barca wins the ucl.

@Chelsea8

When they played against each other, Barca was 2nd in La Liga and so were City. :)

"spanish teams haven't proved anything this year"

Lol, and what did English teams prove? They proved they're not the best league anymore. La Liga proved all we needed to last season with the Atletico-Real final and Sevilla winning the UEL. Good luck in the Champions Lea..... oh wait. :D

yes i know that english teams didn't prove anything, and i'm not the one that is always trying to argue with bpl fans lol and last year was last year :) i can also say that bpl teams proved everything when chelsea or united won the champions league lol

Comparing 2008 to 2015 is a bad idea, mate. The times have changed. Stop dwelling on the past. Winning a CL trophy by parking the bus all the way to even the final is not something to be proud of either.

hahaha who was talking about last year me or you? and buying your champions league title is also not something to be proud of,mate.
