The first leg of the Copa Del Rey semifinals commences this week as Sevilla and Barcelona open the round this Wednesday. With the Copa Del Rey title now in sight, both teams will feel they can go all the way in the latter stages of this domestic cup competition. Click here for expert tips and predictions.

The Blaugrana head into this game the dominant side having won 13 of the last 17 encounters between both sides. Sevilla, with just one win, haven't managed to get the best of Barcelona in that time. However, with the last two games ending in stalemates, it seems Lopetegui's side can now finally stand their ground against the Catalan giants. We will see if they can manage that this Wednesday.

Eyes on nothing but the prize

Sevilla got the better of Almeria in the quarterfinals of the Copa Del Rey via a solitary goal from Lucas Ocampos. They also followed that up with a 3-0 win over Getafe just last weekend as they copped their 4th straight league win- seven in all competitions. Will they manage to stretch their winning run this Wednesday?

Barcelona recorded an amazing comeback victory in their own quarterfinals game against Granada. The Blaugrana were two goals down with three minutes remaining in the game. They managed to take the game to extra-time and eventually emerged 5-3 winners on the night. They also recorded their 5th straight win in all competitions away at Betis last time out.
