Barcelona have hit the woodwork more times than any other team in La Liga this season.

Whispers Predicts: Barcelona 3-1 Sevilla
At 1.30, Barcelona are priced as favourites by bet365, and considering their perfect home record in La Liga, we can see why.
Three consecutive clashes between these teams have produced at least five goals, so an over 3.5 total goals bet at 1.90 seems like good value.
With Barcelona having won nine of the last 11 skirmishes between these outfits, we also fancy Barcelona & BTTS - Yes at 2.30.
Given that the Blaugrana have scored at least three goals in eight consecutive home games across all competitions, we are predicting a 3-1 correct score, which can be backed at 9.80.
> BTTS - Yes at 1.69 | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 3.5 goals at 1.90 | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result - Barcelona l at 1.30 | Likelihood: Probable
> Barcelona & BTTS - Yes at 2.30 | Likelihood: Probable
