Sevilla vs Barcelona: La Liga Showdown This Sunday

FC Barcelona travels to Andalusia for a critical La Liga encounter against Sevilla FC on Sunday, October 5, at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. The match kicks off at 14:15 GMT, with Barcelona looking to bounce back from their midweek 1-2 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain at home.

Hansi Flick’s Barcelona currently sits second in the La Liga table with 19 points from seven matches, boasting an impressive record of six wins and one draw. A victory today would propel them to the top of the standings, adding extra significance to this away fixture.

Sevilla Struggling at Home

Sevilla faces mounting pressure as they search for their first home win of the season. The hosts occupy ninth position with 10 points, having recorded three wins, one draw, and three losses. Manager Matías Almeyda is expected to deploy a three-center-back formation, with veteran César Azpilicueta anchoring the defensive line.

Barcelona’s Dominant Record

History heavily favors the Catalan giants in this fixture. Across 74 meetings, Barcelona has secured 48 victories compared to Sevilla’s 13 wins, with 13 draws. More significantly, Sevilla hasn’t defeated Barcelona in league competition since 2021. The visitors have won their last five encounters, including a commanding 4-1 victory in their most recent meeting in February 2025.

With Barcelona chasing the league summit and Sevilla desperate for home points, this Sunday afternoon clash promises tactical intrigue and high stakes for both sides in Spain’s top flight.
