Barça to turn up the heat
Barcelona are the clear favorites when they visit Sevilla at 1.4, however, Sevilla are priced up at 8.75 and the draw at 5.41, despite a number of factors favouring a Barca victory in this matchup. Barcelona have won their first four games in LaLiga 2026/2027 and are currently top of the table on 12 points, while Sevilla are fourth with ten points from five games. Barca have won both of their away games and should be able to continue their perfect away run in this weekend's trip to Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuán.
Barça have won their last five consecutive matches in all competitions and Hansi Flick's new side look unstoppable right now. Barca will try to lock Sevilla out in their own half with their high line and pressing game on Saturday, but Sevilla will look to punish the space behind that high line with direct counters.
Sevilla to be tough to crack
Form and momentum
Luis Garcia's Sevilla have a poor record in this fixture but their games this season have been inconsistent, with three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five. However, they do come into this match on the back of a 1-0 win at home to Valencia, and they will be looking to make it two on the trot this weekend.
Style and key players
Sevilla can be a tough nut to crack under Garcia as they play a pragmatic 4-2-3-1 or compact 4-4-2 system and rely on quick vertical breaks and counter-pressing. However, Chidera Ejuke is Los Nervionenses' main goal threat with one goal in five LaLiga 2026/2027 appearances, while Miguel Angel Sierra has scored two of Sevilla's four goals in their last five.
Barca to edge close matchup
Barcelona will put the pressure on at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday, and with an average of 5.00 goals per away game this term (10 scored), they should have more than enough firepower to put this one to bed.
They should be capable of making this an even game by punishing the space behind Barça's high line with their counter attacking play, but Barça are the most likely winners. That should make for an exciting night for both sets of fans and we're backing Barça to come out on top.
- Raphinha is Barça's star man in the final third this year with six goals in four LaLiga 2026/2027 appearances and they should be good for a couple on the road this week.
- Sevilla have a decent home record in the league so far with two wins, no draws and a defeat from three games.
- Barça's away scoring average of 5.00 is impressive but Sevilla average just 1.33 goals for at home, so they may have to be ruthless in transition to keep pace.
