MADRID, Feb. 21 -- FC Barcelona begin a decisive week of matches away from the Camp Nou Stadium in Matchday 25 of the Liga Santander.

Saturday sees Ernesto Valverde's side make the trip south to play Sevilla, ahead of consecutive visits to Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal and a league game which could well decide the destiny of this season's league title.

Barca travel to Sevilla with an seven-point lead at the top of the table ahead of Atletico Madrid, but knowing their recent away form has been disappointing.

Wednesday saw them fail to score in the Champions League away to Olympic Lyon, while their last league game saw them held to a 0-0 draw in Bilbao and a month ago they lost 2-0 away to Sevilla in the first leg of their Cup quarterfinal.

Valverde will also be worried that the only goal his side have scored in their last three matches was a Leo Messi penalty at home to Valladolid last weekend, although he must also be tempted to rest his star player ahead of the double header against Madrid.

Sevilla returned to form on Wednesday with a 2-0 Europa League win at home to Lazio, but have struggled for form at the start of 2019, losing 3-0 away to Villarreal last weekend and perhaps the fact they have played more matches than any other team in Spain so far this season has caught up with them.

The round of matches kicks off on Friday and Wu Lei is likely to start again as Espanyol look to continue a positive run of three games without defeat when they entertain Huesca, whose recovery was halted by a 1-0 defeat to Athletic Club Bilbao on Monday.
