Before you lock in your Sevilla vs. Barcelona picks or Spanish La Liga predictions, you NEED to see what SportsLine's soccer expert Martin Green has to say.

After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since last year's Men's World Cup, Green has been profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including the Champions League (+4.78 units), FA Cup (+3.07), EFL Cup (+3.64), Euro 2024 qualifiers (+3.01) and Europa League (+1.60).

Green knows Barcelona didn't play their preferred 11 on Tuesday, with Robert Lewandowski among those who started on the bench. The Polish striker leads the league with five goals and should return to the lineup Friday. Star defenders Jules Kounde and Andreas Christensen also should be rested, and the Blaugrana will have the clear advantage at Camp Nou.  

The expert also has considered that Sevilla come in off a convincing victory and will be facing a weary Barcelona side dealing with a congested schedule. Youssef En-Nesyri, Erik Lamela and Dodi Lukebakio all scored their second league goals Tuesday. Sevilla are unbeaten in their past four matches (2-2-0), including a 1-1 Champions League draw with Lens.

Green has taken an in-depth look at the Barcelona vs. Sevilla match and is leaning slightly under 3.5 on the goal total. He also has locked in three CONFIDENT best bets and has a full breakdown of this Spanish La Liga match!
