The Andalusians have not won away in La Liga all season, and though they lost in Molde on Thursday, they remain confident of picking up three points at the champions' home
Sevilla defender Federico Fazio is confident his side can cause an upset when they face Barcelona on Sunday.
The centre-half, who is back on loan at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan from Tottenham, is confident that his side will be able to break their away-day duck at Camp Nou.
“The match against Barcelona will be a very difficult game, but we don't care about our opponents or about a specific game,” Fazio told Goal. “We work hard and study every game to play against any opponent. For us, every game is the same and we give them the same importance.
“There are three more months of competition, we have to continue like this and we know we're in very good shape.”
While Sevilla have performed to a stellar standard at home in La Liga, remaining unbeaten to date, they have yet to win on their travels, which has seen them fall away from the Champions League places.
Their poor domestic record on the road has continued in Europe, with the Andalusians losing all three trips in the Champions League group stage and 1-0 on Thursday night in Molde, though they progressed through to the last 16 courtesy of a 3-1 aggregate score.
Vitolo has pinpointed this as an area for improvement and believes once one victory arrives, others will follow.
“It's true we have not won away for a while, but we must not give up,” he said. “The team is competing in every match. We have spent long time without losing but we need just a little bit more to win away.
“I think once we win one, things will go better.
“We are in the Copa del Rey final, we have made a very important step in the Europa League and we can reach our target in La Liga. We're doing well this season.”
Sevilla have lost only one of their last 13 league matches ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Barca, who they beat 2-1 at home earlier this season.
