Barcelona v Sevilla
📅
Kick Off: Sunday 20th October at 20:00
🏆
Competition: La Liga
Barcelona will be looking to extend their three-point lead at the top of La Liga on Sunday evening. They face off against a Sevilla side currently languishing in 12th, with 12 points. Meanwhile, the hosts have doubled that tally, with 24 points from their opening nine games.
⭐ Barcelona v Sevilla Best Bets
Adria Pedrosa is currently priced at 2.0 to commit a foul, which implies a 50% chance of this bet landing. This offering looks massive when considering he has made a foul in six out of seven appearances this season.
He plays as a left back, so is expected to match up against Lamine Yamal – he has been fouled at least once in every game this season, averaging 2.87 fouls drawn per 90. This same bet is 1.4 with Sky, which implies a 71% probability and demonstrates the great value on offer here.
👕 Barcelona v Sevilla Predicted XI
🔍 Barcelona v Sevilla Players to Watch
⚪ Dodi Lukebakio
Dodi Lukebakio has inherited a much larger role for Sevilla this season, following the departure of key players like Lucas Ocampos and Youssef En-Nesyri over the summer. Lukebakio is currently averaging 3.39 shots per 90, with a shot on target landing in six out of eight games this season.
🔵 Alejandro Balde
Alejandro Balde has been a key figure for Barcelona this season, operating as a right-back. He is afforded a lot of attacking freedom under Hansi Flick, so often finds himself in advanced positions. He has drawn at least one foul in seven out of eight starts this season in all competitions, averaging 2.6 fouls drawn per 90.
🔵 Robert Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski is the only player to have started every game in all competitions for Barcelona this season, highlighting how the 36-year-old is still operating in peak form and is trusted by his manager. He has scored 12 goals this season, with five goals in his last two games.

💻 Barcelona v Sevilla Form and Tactics
Barcelona have been in imperious form under Hansi Flick this season, with nine wins and two losses in all competitions. The first loss came against Monaco in the Champions League, where Eric Garcia was sent off after just ten minutes.
More recently, Osasuna won 4-2 against the Catalans, however, Hansi Flick opted for heavy rotation with a Champions League clash just a few days later. Given that Barcelona face Bayern Munich shortly after this game against Sevilla, we might expect some changes from the German once more.
After a dismal previous campaign which saw Sevilla finish 14th, results are yet to improve much under the management of Garcia Pimienta – their current record of three wins, three draws and three losses highlights Sevilla’s inconsistencies.
Woeful away form has not helped the cause, as Sevilla are yet to register a victory from their four games. That statistic does not bode well for them, given that Barcelona have won every home fixture this term.
