90-minute odds: 11/4 : 0
Total goals: 3 1/4
Barcelona has returned to reality and clearly knows their current position after a bitter defeat to Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League. Despite PSG being heavily affected by injuries and not fielding their strongest lineup, Hansi Flick’s team still failed to secure a win.
In that game, the Catalan side took the lead thanks to Ferran Torres but then allowed the European champions to completely dominate and suffer a 1-2 comeback loss. Lamine Yamal’s return did not bring the expected victory as he failed to make a significant difference, and Barcelona still has a large gap in playing quality compared to Paris Saint Germain.
However, Hansi Flick’s team will leave that defeat behind and focus on La Liga. This weekend, they will visit Sevilla aiming to win and defend their top position.
Regarding squad availability, the home side Sevilla will be without players like Joan Jordan, Gonzales, and Ramon Martinez due to injuries, but coach Matias Almeyda has many personnel options to face Barcelona.
Barcelona’s biggest problem now is that the players have endured a packed schedule and are showing fatigue, with many stars not at their peak form, causing the reigning champions to lose their usual sharpness. Besides missing Stegen, Gavi, Joan Garcia, Fermin Lopez, and Raphinha due to injury, Hansi Flick is likely also without playmaker Pedri for this match.
- Sevilla: Vlachodimos; Azpilicueta, Castrin, Salas; Sánchez, Sow, Gudelj, Suazo, Januzaj, Adams, Ejuke
- Barcelona: Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, Araujo, Balde; Bernal, Olmo, De Jong; Rashford, Ferran, Yamal
Sevilla has achieved 3 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw in their recent La Liga matches, while Barcelona has also impressed with 3 wins in their last 4 away La Liga games. In the last 5 encounters between Sevilla and Barcelona, the champions have won all 5 matches.
