Sevilla vs FC Barcelona
Match Preview
This early-season trip to the Sánchez-Pizjuán is already shaping up as a big test. Barcelona arrive as Primera Division leaders with a flawless record, while Sevilla sit mid-table after an uneven start, eager to prove last season's shock win over the Catalans was no fluke.
Barcelona have been ruthless in attack, hammering Elche, Rayo Vallecano and Valencia by four or five goals apiece, with Raphinha leading the scoring charts and Lamine Yamal chipping in braces of his own. Sevilla have been streakier, winning away at Athletic Bilbao but losing at home to Atlético Madrid, with new loan arrival Youssouf Fofana settling into midfield. Historically Barcelona dominate this fixture by a wide margin, but Sevilla stunned them 4-1 at home last October, ending a long unbeaten run in the process.
Given Barcelona's ruthless scoring form against a Sevilla side that has already shown it can hurt the Catalans on home soil, expect goals at both ends.
Our prediction: 1-3
