Barcelona take on the visitors Sevilla at the Camp Nou in the 9th tour of the Primera Division. The match will be played in the eponymous city Barcelona on Saturday, October 20th.
Barcelona have been a little bit far from their peak shape recently. They won only once in their last five fixtures, that was the victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League group stage. In the Primera Division though the Blaugrana have been unable to win for four fixtures in a row now. Last tour they failed to beat Valencia on the away field but had a lot of goal attempts overall in that match. Now the team of Ernesto Valverde will be super motivated to beat Sevilla. They will become the leader of the Primera Division if they put all of their effort into the upcoming game. One could say that Barca would try to save some energy for their UEFA Champions League group stage game against Internazionale four days after. However, that fixture will be a home one for the team so all of the key players for the Blaugrana are likely to play against Sevilla. In their last three matches Barcelona drew against Valencia with a 1-1 score, beat Tottenham Hotspur with a 4-2 score in their UEFA Champions League group stage fixture and drew against Athletic Bilbao with a 1-1 score.

Sevilla have been able to take advantage of the weaknesses the top tier Spanish teams have been having recently. Now they are on the first place in the Primera Division with sixteen points to their credit after eight tours. It`s worth noting that Los Hispalenses have been showing solid performances on the away fields recently. In their four away games of the 2018/2019 Primera Division they lost only one of them. The team of Pablo Machin has been on a winning streak consisting of four league fixtures now. However, they have failed in their UEFA Europa League group stage game against Krasnodar recently, they have been unable to get any points out of that match. Also, Los Rojiblancos were unsuccessful in their last fixtures against Barcelona. Last five games between the teams at the Camp Nou ended with the Blaugrana winning four of them and drawing one. The draw happened in the Copa del Rey tournament. In their last three matches Sevilla beat Celta Vigo with a 2-1 score, lost to Krasnodar with a 1-2 score in their UEFA Europa League group stage fixture and beat Eibar with a 3-1 score.
Barcelona just have to end their failing streak after the pause due to the international fixtures. It will be unacceptable for them to lose any points in their upcoming fixture against Sevilla in front of their home crowd. The Blaugrana will most likely beat Los Hispalenses confidently on Saturday.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -1.5 handicap.
