Match Time & Date:

21:30
Prediction: 1-1
Barcelona
Sevilla will look to build on a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid when they take on Barcelona in the La Liga derby. Los Sevillanos aim to put an extra pressure on league leaders Real Madrid, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in the postponed fixture. Fernando Reges is back from suspension, while Gonzalo Montiel, Acuna and Lucas Ocampos have joined Jesus Navas, Youssef En-Nesyri, and Erik Lamela in the recovery room.
The Catalan outfit, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 3-2 win over Elche, with Nico scoring a late winner at Camp Nou. Barca aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, and given the number of absentees in the home team, we predict that Xavi’s men are going to pick up one point from the midweek game. Gerard Pique is back from suspension, while all Demir, Dest, Depay, Roberto, Pedri, Ansu Fati, Braithwaite, and Wague remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Marko Dmitrovic):
A Red Star Belgrade youth prospect, Serbian goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic never got a chance to shine at his boyhood club. The talented shot-stopper was forced to take a longer road to prominence and travelled through Hungary, England and Spain to find his place under the sun. Spells with Ujpest, Charlton Athletic and Alcoron brought nothing but disappointment for the Serbia ‘keeper, who rose to full prominence at Eibar.
Dmitrovic was voted the best player of Eibar for the 2017/18 season after not missing a single league appearance for Los Armeros. Apart from his footballing exploits, Marko Dmitrovic remains remembered for saving Angel Rodriguez Diaz’s life in a game against Getafe.
Dmitrovic was the one to unintentionally knock Angel to the ground after a duel in the box and was also the first one to pull his tongue out when it became apparent that Angel was lying still on the ground. Marko Dmitrovic is Serbia’s second choice goalkeeper who made his debut in 2017. The Eibar custodian was part of Serbia’s World Cup expedition in Russia but did not get a chance in goal with Vladimir Stojkovic being favoured between the sticks.
Highlighted Team (Barcelona):
Barcelona is a Spanish football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia. Barca were founded in 1899 and they are regarded as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Catalan giants won their 24th La Liga title in 2016, with Luis Suarez winning “El Pichichi” award. Barcelona have won five European Cup trophies and a number of top-class players were part of the team in the past.
The likes of Hristo Stoichkov, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona and Pep Guardiola are some of many players that played for Barca in the past, but, no doubt, Leo Messi has established himself as the club’s trademark. Barcelona welcome their rivals at Camp Nou, the stadium that was built in 1957.
Barcelona’s local rivals are Espanyol, but the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid is much bigger. The two La Liga giants face each other in “El Clasico”, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world football. Barca are famous for their football youth school La Masia as well.
