The title race will continue in Spain this coming weekend as Sevilla will play host to Barcelona. It will be one of the biggest games left for Barcelona as the Catalonian side chase another league title. But, will Sevilla upset the odds and get a shock win?
La Liga Preview

Barcelona have scored the most goals in the top-flight this season as they have hit the net on 69 occasions. Their form has been solid over their previous six games as they have won five and lost just once.

Their most recent victory came against Leganes as they won 2-0 with the goals coming from Messi and Ansu Fati.

Since the restart, they have won once and drawn once, and are four points clear in the race to finish in the top four.
