Barcelona are set to play Sevilla on Saturday in 2018/19 La Liga as the season moves ahead. Barca go into this game as the favourites.

Kick-off : 4:15 PM (Local)

Venue : Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Seville

Barcelona will be disappointed with their goalless draw against Lyon in the Champions League on Tuesday but need to convert that frustration into a victory here in Seville.

They though played fine football against Valladolid last weekend and would wanna continue their La Liga football from their. Barcelona are first at the moment in La Liga and are on their way to winning the league.

Barca are currently number one in points table after 24 games with 54 points. Against Sevilla they will have to play their brand of football in order for success.

On the other hand, Sevilla are doing fine in 2018/19 La Liga and are only behind the trio of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. They will hope to improve further if they can.

Sevilla know it will be tough against Barcelona but they will give their all. Sevilla are currently fourth in points table after 24 games with 37 points.

Barcelona have a good record against Sevilla and they would like to continue the good work.
