Command Analysis
Barcelona
SpainCurrent form
Robert Lewandowski hat-trick gave Barcelona a 3-0 win over Alaves in their final game before the international break as they bounced back from a shock 4-2 defeat to Osasuna in the eighth round. That embarrassing defeat ended a brilliant start to this La Liga campaign. Hansi Flick is also likely to rely heavily on Lewandowski for goals today, with both Lamine Jamal and Ferran Torres sidelined this weekend through injury.
Playing Sevilla is unlikely to be as tiring given their recent historical results in these encounters, with https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en target=_blank rel=noopener>Barcelona unbeaten in 17 head-to-head duels in the top flight, their longest run heading into this encounter. Furthermore, the Catalans have won all three of their home league games this season, conceding just one goal, while the Blaugrana will be looking to start brightly again, having scored the first goal within the first half hour in each of those three encounters.
Disqualifications and injuries
Araujo (muscle injury), Gavi (knee injury), Bernal (knee injury), Christensen (injury), Torres (muscle injury), ter Stegen (knee injury) and Yamal (muscle injury) will not be able to play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Barcelona have scored in both halves in nine of their last ten league games
It is noteworthy that the Catalans always won in all these matches. There are no secrets here – the attack of the “blue garnets” is a problem for any opponent, and in any rotation of the lineup.
- Barcelona have scored first in their last nine home league games
It is noteworthy that in all these duels the Catalans always won.
- Rafinha scored two penalties in his final game for his country
There is hope for him, as a year ago at this stadium he was the author of an assist and the decisive goal in the confrontation with Sevilla.
Probable line-up : Pena - Martin, Dminges, Balde, Kunde - Casado, Pedri, Gundogan, Viktor - Lewandowski, Rafinha.
Sevilla
SpainCurrent form
Sevilla went into the break with seven points from their last three games, all three of which saw the hosts shown a red card that day. The improved results have not only seen the Andalusians revive a season in which they have won just one of their first six league games in 2024/25, but they have also moved three points closer to the top five after seven games.
The challenge now is to replicate those achievements away from home, with the visitors yet to win away from home in the competition. That puts current manager Garcia Pimienta, a former Barcelona youth coach, in danger of equalling the record of Unai Emery, who was the last Sevilla manager to fail to win his first five away trips to the top flight.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out of the side are Niguez (muscle injury), Suso (muscle injury) and Nianzou (red card).
Interesting trends for betting
- Dodi Lukebakio had a relatively quiet break, playing just over 30 minutes for Belgium
However, this player is never in a hurry to influence the course of events in matches, as his last three away goals were scored after the 80th minute.
- Sevilla have not won a single away match after nine rounds of the current Spanish championship
The last time an away team failed to win a single away game was during Unai Emery tenure, something Garcia Pimienta came very close to doing.
Tentative line-up : Niland - Sanchez, Avila, Martinez, Pedrosa - Bueno, Carmona, Sow - Lukebakio, Romero.

1.89Tip and bets
Today we expect attacking football – players who are capable of not only creating, but also easily realizing a moment will take the field. In addition, the visitors will certainly try to reach the goal of the leader of La Liga, because additional motivation is not required for Barcelona opponents. We believe that today both teams will be able to create tension at the opponent goal, which will bring an abundance of attacks and scoring chances. We expect good implementation.
Our prediction is a total of more than three goals and we bet on it with a coefficient of 1.86
Bet on the outcome
Most likely, the hosts will take full control of the game from the first minutes, while Flick is able to set his charges up for any opponent. The support of the stands and a huge desire to make another gift to the fans will give impetus to the players, who, due to their class and experience, will try to take three points with a comfortable score for themselves and hold the first position in the Primera.
Prediction: Barcelona win by two goals at 4.75
Bet on a penalty
Most likely, the main events will take place away from the goal, which will ultimately bring maximum tension to the center. In addition, the class of the defensive players will allow them to play in their penalty area without fatal errors.
Forecast - penalty (no). This option can be found for 1.28
