As La Liga rolls into another exciting weekend, Barcelona prepares to host Sevilla in a highly anticipated clash at the Estadi Olímpic. Don't miss our detailed preview of the Barcelona vs Sevilla match as the Catalans look to extend their lead at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Sevilla will be eager to turn their season around after a shaky start. The hosts have been in blistering form this season and, under Hansi Flick, seem unstoppable at home. Sevilla, on the other hand, have struggled to find consistency and currently sit just six points above the relegation zone. This match promises to be a crucial test for both teams.
Barcelona have had an outstanding start to their 2024-25 La Liga campaign, sitting comfortably at the top of the table. Hansi Flick’s side has been a dominant force, particularly at home, where they have won every fixture so far. With an average of 3.33 goals per game at the Estadi Olímpic, the Catalan side has shown incredible attacking prowess, spearheaded by Robert Lewandowski, who has scored eight goals in his last five club appearances.
However, Barca will be dealing with a few injury concerns ahead of this clash. Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ronald Araujo, and Ferran Torres are set to miss the game, while Dani Olmo remains a doubt. The return of Gavi and Fermin Lopez offers some respite for Flick, as both midfielders are expected to feature. Despite these absences, Barcelona’s depth and form make them clear favorites in this encounter.
Tactically, Barcelona have been fluid in attack and solid defensively. Their ability to control possession and press high up the field has been key to their success this season. Even with some injuries, they have shown resilience and adaptability, making them a difficult side to break down.
The Catalans have an excellent recent record against Sevilla, unbeaten in their last eight meetings, and haven’t lost to them in the league since 2015. Barcelona will be looking to maintain that momentum on Sunday.
Sevilla’s start to the 2024-25 season has been far from ideal. With only a few wins under their belt, they find themselves in the bottom half of the table, just six points clear of the relegation zone. Despite a slight improvement in form recently, the Andalusian side has struggled, particularly away from home, where they average just one goal and 0.75 points per game.
Sevilla’s injury issues could further complicate matters. Tanguy Nianzou is suspended, while key players Saul Niguez and Djibril Sow remain sidelined. Manager José Luis Mendilibar will be hoping for a solid performance from Dodi Lukebakio, who has been one of their better performers this season with three goals in La Liga. However, his recent international break was underwhelming, as was goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, who conceded five goals in Norway’s loss to Austria.
Tactically, Sevilla has struggled to find the right balance between attack and defense this season. They’ve conceded too many goals while not producing enough offensively. If they are to stand any chance against Barcelona, they’ll need to tighten up defensively and capitalize on the few chances they get.
Historically, Sevilla has had a poor record away to Barcelona. Their last victory at the Estadi Olímpic came in 2010, and with their current form, it's hard to see them breaking that drought on Sunday.
Possible Team Lineups
Barcelona: Pena – Kounde, Martinez, Cubarsi, Balde – Garcia, Casado, Pedri – Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
Sevilla: Nyland – Carmona, Salas, Bade, Pedrosa – Gudelj, Agoume – Lukebakio, Fernandez, Ejuke – Romero
This match promises to be another entertaining fixture in Barcelona's dominant home campaign. The Catalans will look to exploit Sevilla’s defensive frailties and maintain their high-scoring form. With Lewandowski in excellent shape, and the creative influence of Gavi and Pedri back in the lineup, Barcelona’s attack will likely overwhelm Sevilla's backline.
On the other hand, Sevilla will need to dig deep to avoid a heavy defeat. Their lack of consistency, combined with key injuries, suggests they may struggle to contain Barcelona’s relentless pressure. Given Barcelona’s current form and home record, a convincing victory for the hosts seems the most likely outcome.
For bettors, Barcelona’s dominant home form and Sevilla’s struggles on the road make this an ideal opportunity to back the Catalan side. A bet on Barcelona to win is a safe option, while the odds on Barcelona winning by two or more goals could provide added value.

Our experts predict that Barcelona will secure a comfortable victory in this match. The main reasons for this are Barcelona’s superb home form, where they have been averaging over three goals per game, and Sevilla’s poor away record. Additionally, Barcelona's recent dominance in head-to-head meetings with Sevilla makes them clear favorites.
For those looking to take a more specific bet, backing Barcelona to win with a clean sheet could be a smart move. Sevilla’s attacking struggles, especially away from home, combined with Barcelona’s defensive solidity, make this a likely scenario.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
