Barcelona take on the visitors Sevilla in the round 10 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, October 20th at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys (Barcelona).
Barcelona mostly impresses but allows slip-ups. The "Blaugrana" had a disappointing last season following their successes in 2023. Xavi rightfully lost his position, despite initially refusing to step down as he had promised. Eventually, Laporta showed the club legend the door. Due to ongoing financial issues, the club had to sell and release players during the offseason—most notably parting ways with Gündoğan, who had only been signed in 2023. The new head coach, Hansi Flick, only brought in one new player, Dani Olmo, who is already injured. Alongside him, many others, including Ter Stegen, are also sidelined until the summer. In a rush, Szczęsny was signed, even though he had announced his retirement just a few months ago. Despite these setbacks, Lewandowski and company had a successful start, though with a couple of caveats: they lost their opening Champions League game to Monaco and were defeated 2-4 by Osasuna in La Liga.

Sevilla were once regarded as the fourth-best team in Spanish football. Although their success in the Europa League compensated for the previous season, the 2023/2024 campaign was a failure across the board: 4th place in their Champions League group and 14th in La Liga, collecting only 41 points. In the summer, they brought in Javier García Pimienta as head coach, but due to the poor financial situation, the club openly stated that they were ready to sell anyone and even release players to reduce their wage bill. As a result, Sevilla started the season alternating between draws and losses but began to secure home victories consistently in the fall.
In the last eight encounters, Barcelona only allowed Sevilla to secure a draw once, back at the end of 2021. It's hard to believe that Sevilla, especially away from home, will trouble the La Liga leaders. We recommend betting on Barcelona to win with a -1.5 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -1.5 handicap.
