Sevilla have hit their stride, but Barcelona have scored 28 goals in six rounds: Sevilla vs Barcelona prediction
The La Liga matchday-seven clash between Sevilla and Barcelona will take place on September 19 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. The hosts sit fourth with 13 points, while the Catalans are top of the table and have won all six of their league matches.
Sevilla: seven points in their last three matches
Luís García Plaza’s side made a confident start to the season and have four wins, one draw and one defeat after six matches. In their last three league games, Sevilla drew 1-1 with Espanyol before recording successive 1-0 victories over Valencia and Deportivo.
The hosts look far more composed than they did last season and have been particularly effective at controlling games after taking the lead. However, Rubén Vargas and Aruna Sangante remain sidelined with injuries.
Barcelona: a perfect start and incredible attacking output
Hansi Flick’s team have won all seven of their competitive matches this season. The Catalans have taken 18 points from a possible 18 in La Liga and scored 28 goals, while in their latest league outing they thrashed Racing 7-2.
Lamine Yamal and Raphinha have made outstanding starts to the season and have already played a direct role in a large number of goals. Meanwhile, Joan García has suffered a knee injury, so Wojciech Szczęsny could start in goal.

Visitors can maintain their perfect start: Sevilla vs Barcelona prediction
Sevilla are looking highly confident right now and could cause the champions serious problems on home soil. However, the hosts’ defence will be up against an attack that has shown virtually no signs of slowing down.
Barcelona have the edge in squad depth and the quality of their decision-making in the final third. The match could be a tight affair, but the visitors look more likely to claim yet another victory.
