Match overview:

However, Hansi Flick will have to deal with a selection dilemma ahead of this game. With the match right after this one being against Newcastle United in the UEFA Champions League, the German coach might need to make some changes.

Yet, even with rotations potentially being considered, Barça should have enough quality to deal with a Sevilla side that is struggling to win games. However, they seem to be quite good at stalemates, on the other hand.

After all, in their last five games, four have ended in a draw while only one has ended in victory for them. While it might not be the ideal run of form that Sevilla would have wanted for themselves, it certainly goes to show that they are a tough side to beat as well.

As for their goal difference, they have scored 6 goals in those five games while having conceded 5 goals in return. They do not tend to score a lot of goals, but they also do not concede a lot of them either.

Barcelona, on the other hand, have been flying high recently. With four wins and one draw in their last five games, the Catalan giants will be confident about their chances heading into this game in front of the home crowd.

In terms of goals, they have scored 12 goals in their last five games and have conceded just two goals in return. Moreover, they have also managed to keep three clean sheets across those five games as well.

However, despite the obvious advantage that Barcelona have, these games are not decided on paper. Furthermore, the last time these two teams met, Sevilla thrashed the Catalan giants as well. Keeping that in mind, Flick’s team will need to be alert and eager if they want to get their revenge.
