Barcelona takes long unbeaten streak to Sevilla

Soccer Betting Lines

11/28/2008 - Seville, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said this week he was "calmer than I have been ahead of the previous four matches."

Barcelona, which is unbeaten in 18 straight games, visits Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday to face Sevilla in a clash of top-five La Liga clubs.

Despite Barcelona's success this season - it leads La Liga and has clinched the top spot in its Champions League qualifying group - Guardiola is now confident the club can "compete with any team."

Barcelona has easily been the most dangerous club in Spain and the world so far this season and Sevilla provides another test for the impressive Camp Nou club.

Guardiola has Barca clicking in his first year in charge, and Carles Puyol and Toure Yaya are both back in the first team for this weekend's match.

Samuel Eto'o (14 goals) and Lionel Messi (13) are leading Barcelona's offense, which leads La Liga with 37 goals scored. Sevilla has just 18 goals all season.

Barca - which also has the league's second-best defense - faces La Liga's best defense in Sevilla.

Guardiola believes Barcelona has to continue to play its style but just be more efficient with its chances, which should be tougher to come by.

"We have to attack well because it is another thing to want to go forward and another to do it effectively, they are very different," Guardiola said.

Guardiola also lavished praise on Sevilla.

"Sevilla are one of the greats of the game, a big rival," Guardiola said. "They are the team that has let in the least goals and play a direct game, are strong going forward and have a good defensive set-up. They are also very aggressive up front and will look to send in a lot of cross and shoot a lot."

Manolo Jimenez's team has allowed just four goals at home and have posted three straight shutouts. Overall, Sevilla is 4-1-1 at home in La Liga. Sevilla trails Barcelona by five points, and could make a huge statement this weekend.

Barcelona, obviously, presents the biggest challenge yet.

"Barcelona, whether playing at home or away, always play on their own terms," Seville's Adriano said. "We need to slow them down by playing like them, which we know, from the center to the front."

Also Saturday, Getafe hosts Real Madrid, which is three points behind Barcelona in second place entering the weekend.

On Sunday, Villarreal will try to bounce back from its first league loss when it visits Recreativo, Athletic Bilbao hosts Numancia, Almeria hosts Deportivo, Malaga hosts Osasuna, Valladolid hosts Mallorca, Espanyol hosts Sporting Gijon, Valencia hosts Real Betis and Atletico Madrid hosts Racing.
