Sevilla Form

Sevilla come into this Sevilla vs Barcelona Preview after back-to-back league victories.

They beat Valencia 1-0 at home before travelling to face Deportivo La Coruña in midweek. Miguel Ángel Sierra scored the only goal as Sevilla won 1-0 at Riazor, giving them another three points.

Their only defeat so far came against Atletico Madrid. Before that setback, Sevilla had opened the campaign with wins over Rayo Vallecano and Athletic Club.

The home side will now face a very different attacking challenge. Barcelona have already scored 28 league goals, so Sevilla's defensive organisation will be tested from the opening minutes.

Barcelona Form

Barcelona have not dropped a league point this season.

Their six-game winning run includes victories over Valencia, Levante and Racing Santander. The latest was their biggest result of the campaign, a 7-2 win over Racing at Camp Nou.

Raphinha was the standout player in that match, scoring three times. He now leads Barcelona's scoring charts with nine LaLiga goals after six matches, while Lamine Yamal has also made a strong start with seven league goals.

Barcelona have also been productive away from home. They will now look to continue that run against a Sevilla side that has conceded only six goals in six league games.

Team News and Expected Lineups

Sevilla could continue with a 4-2-3-1 formation under Luis García Plaza. Recent predicted lineups have included Odysseas Vlachodimos in goal, with Juan Iglesias, Andrés Castrín, Kike Salas and Gabriel Suazo in defence. Lucien Agoumé and Youssouf Fofana are expected to provide the midfield base.

Rubén Vargas and Arouna Sangante have been listed among Sevilla's unavailable players, while Sangante's absence could affect the centre-back options.

Barcelona have a more notable question in goal. Joan García suffered a knee issue during the 7-2 win over Racing Santander and is a doubt for the trip to Seville. Wojciech Szczęsny could therefore start, although Dominik Livaković is another option.

Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji remain unavailable with knee injuries.

A possible Barcelona XI could feature Szczęsny; Eric García, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Martín and Xavi Espart; Fermín López, Rodri and Pedri; Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Anthony Gordon. Predicted lineups can change before kick-off.

Head-to-Head Record

Barcelona have had the better record in this fixture historically. FBref's head-to-head record across its covered competitions lists 53 Barcelona wins, 16 draws and 13 Sevilla victories from 82 completed meetings.

The more recent record also favours Barcelona. One current preview notes that Barcelona have won eight of the last 10 meetings, with Sevilla winning once and one match ending level.

The last meeting at Camp Nou ended in a 5-2 Barcelona victory, adding another high-scoring chapter to the fixture.

The numbers show two teams arriving in good league form, but with very different attacking output. Sevilla have scored nine times, while Barcelona have already reached 28 goals.

What to Expect

Sevilla should look to make the most of home advantage and keep Barcelona from settling into their usual possession game. Their recent defensive record gives them a solid platform, with only six goals conceded in six league matches.

Barcelona will bring a much greater attacking threat. Raphinha and Lamine Yamal have been among the team's main sources of goals, while the side has scored 28 times in six league games.

The key battle could come in midfield, where Sevilla will need to disrupt Barcelona's passing and prevent their forwards from receiving the ball in dangerous positions.

For Sevilla, another home win would strengthen their excellent opening run. For Barcelona, the objective is to protect their perfect league record and remain at the top of the table.

That sets up an important Sevilla vs Barcelona meeting at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
