It seems all set for Barcelona, who is ready to host Sevilla on Sunday in a La Liga fixture. Barcelona enters this match hoping to continue its form and dominance at Camp Nou. On the other hand, Sevilla has struggled lately and will look for a possible comeback from the undesired situation.
Barcelona vs Sevilla: Preview
Barcelona comfortably sits in first place in the La Liga standings. They were impressed with their form except for the one match they lost to Osasuna. Hansi Flick opted to give the young talent in the team a chance by resting the main ones. The result was negative, as Barcelona lost the match 4-2 to Osasuna.
Sevilla has clearly struggled to find their form this season. Currently sitting in the 12th spot, Sevilla dropped points as they drew the match to Athletic Club and also lost their match to Deportivo Alaves. They are on their path to finding the right momentum to push further into the table.

Barcelona vs Sevilla: Team News & Head-to-Head
Barcelona
Barcelona will be without Ferran Torres, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, and Ronald Araujo for their match against Sevilla. However, Robert Lewandowski and Yamal, who picked up minor issues during the international break, trained on Thursday and are expected to be available. Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Dani Olmo could also return to the squad, though it’s unlikely they will start.
Wojciech Szczesny is also back in the squad, but Inaki Pena is expected to retain his place in goal for now.
Sevilla
For Sevilla, Saul Niguez and Djibril Sow are out due to injury, while Tanguy Nianzou is suspended after his red card in the Seville derby against Real Betis. Kike Salas is expected to step into the starting lineup, with the rest of the team likely similar to the one that faced Betis before the international break. Isaac Romero should lead the line as a striker, with Peque Fernandez playing in the number 10 role, and Jose Angel Carmona likely to start at right-back ahead of Jesus Navas.
Head-to-Head
Barcelona have had the upper hand in recent matchups with Sevilla, winning their last five meetings. They haven’t lost to Sevilla in La Liga since October 2015.
Possible Starting XI
Barcelona possible starting lineup: Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; Casado, E Garcia, Pedri; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
Sevilla possible starting lineup: Nyland; Carmona, Bade, Salas, Pedrosa; Agoume, Gudelj; Lukebakio, Fernandez, Ejuke; Romero
Barcelona vs Sevilla: Prediction
The match will be a great watch as both the teams are stacked with high-quality players. Those three points are very important; both teams will do their best to secure them. Barcelona has an edge to win the fixture by a close margin. However, Sevilla won’t stay quiet and will be lethal enough on counter-attacks as they have been in the past few matches.
