Barcelona v Sevilla: Match Preview, Team News, Predicted XI | Copa del Rey 2018-19

Barcelona has all to play for in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals against Sevilla at the Nou Camp after going down 2-0 at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium in Seville.

The Blaugrana have won the last four Copa del Rey winner's medal but have found themselves in a bit of a sticky situation facing an early exit from the domestic cup.

Barcelona will be looking to overturn the away loss with another victory at home in the Copa del Rey after overturning a 2-1 defeat in Levante in the previous round to win it 4-1 on aggregate.

The Andulasian club will be in high spirits after a thumping 5-0 victory over Levante in the weekend. Sevilla will be looking to knock out Barcelona from the competition for the first time since Real Madrid defeated them in the final of the 2013-14 season.

Sevilla is the last team to beat Barcelona when the Blaugrana failed to get into the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, way back in the 2009-10 season.
