Xavi Hernandez’s Barcelona will be bidding to make it six La Liga victories on the trot when they welcome Sevilla to the impressive Camp Nou on Sunday night.

Barça recorded an incredible 4-0 win over Real Madrid in the El Clásico prior to the international break, which left the Blaugrana in the third spot in the La Liga standings, only three points behind second-placed Sevilla, and with a game in hand.

They, however, remain 12 points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid and still have a lot of ground to make up in the title race as we enter the business end of the campaign.

Hernandez has done something very special very quickly with Barcelona.

In the 4-0 demolition of Real Madrid, Barça played with the anger and hunger of a team that had been poorly coached and had underperformed for a year and a half before Xavi was appointed.

In the two months or thereabout that the former midfield maestro has been in charge, they now look like the Barça most of the footballing world, depending on which side of the divide one stood, came to love and envy.

Their modern pressing and passing style have overwhelmed a lot of teams and as they come up against a Sevilla side that, under the management of Julen Lopetegui, have stalled dramatically, a familiar outcome may just be on the cards.

Sevilla was in the title race for much of the season but elimination from both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, as well as some poor results in La Liga has seen their season fall apart as they look to hang on to a top-four finish and return to the Champions League next season.

Another comprehensive victory and statement of intent from the home team look a good bet for this one.

Over 2.5 goals for this game comes in at a pretty good odds of 1.84, while a win for the Barcelona plus over 2.5 goals has an equally pretty good odds of 2.25.
