Barcelona find themselves third in the La Liga standings and play will host Sevilla at the Luis Companys Olympic Stadium on Friday.
Interestingly, current leaders Girona and second-placed Real Madrid will face each other in the same gameday, giving Barcelona an opportunity to climb to the summit or at least go second.
Things would have been different if the Catalan giants had picked up full points at Mallorca, as they were held to a 2-2 draw, while Sevilla secured a 5-1 win over Almeria.
