Barcelona vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting Tips (20 October)

FC Barcelona is keen to disrupt Kylian Mbappé's first season in La Liga by seeking a 28th national championship title. Indeed, after 9 days, the Blaugrana already have 8 victories for a single misstep on the Osasuna pitch in a sensational 4-2 match. The reaction was immediate for the Catalans who defeated Young Boys Berne in the Champions League 5-0 and who followed up with Alaves in the league before the break 0-3. Leaders of LaLiga, the Culers have already scored 28 goals in 9 matches, an average of 3 goals per match. Sevilla FC took a while to turn on the switch but they “finally” seem to have found the right balance.

He will also travel to Catalonia to the leader to defend a series of 3 days of championship without defeat including 2 victories obtained against Valladolid 2-1 and without conceding a goal against Real Bétis in the Sevillian derby just before the break international 1-0. It is always good to remember that the Pizjuan residents had an eventful summer with numerous departures of important players from last season. In the ranking, the Andalusians moved up to 12th place at the start of this day. 

Having been away from the field for many weeks, Gavi is back and he will probably return to the field. Frenkie de Jong has also returned to the field. And if ultimately, Barça's problem is not all these returns to competition of players with starting status? We will have to offer playing time without neglecting the boys who have been doing the job since the start of the season. Christensen, Araujo, Olmo, Fermin Lopez, Ferran Torres and Marc Bernal (end of season) will be absent like captain Ter Stegen (end of season) digitally replaced by an outgoing Szczesny who could quickly take over. starting place in the cages. We talked about the Mbappé - Rodrygo - Vinicius trident, but it is the trio Lewandowski (10 goals in La Liga), Raphinha (5 goals, 4 assists) and Yamal (4 goals, 5 assists) who made the best start to season in Spain.

Furthermore, Robert Lewangoalski scored a hat-trick against Alaves. On the Sevilla FC side, midfielders Saul Niguez (on loan for the season from Atlético Madrid) and Djibril Sow will be missing, both injured. In addition, during the derby before the break, Tanguy Kouassi (ex-PSG) was excluded and he will quite logically serve his suspension this evening. The Tricolores Agoumé and Loic Badé (French international for two meetings) will, however, be well operational for this big meeting like the Belgian international Lukebakio (3 goals in 9 appearances in La Liga).
