Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Camp Nou, Barcelona
Barcelona so far have had an OK start to their new La Liga campaign. They have drawn 3 and lost one of their 8 games so far. Barcelona are currently 3rd in the points table.
Barca have to now play Sevilla and they will be tricky opponents. Barca though have the home advantage and they should make it count. They will have to play their brand of football.
Barcelona have the El Clasico next week in La Liga but before that they play Inter Milan in the Champions League.
On the other hand, Sevilla so far have had a fine start to their 2018/19 La Liga campaign winning five games out of the 8 they have played. They will look to play positive football ahead.
Sevilla are currently 2nd in the table with 16 points. Sevilla have a tough game against Barcelona away next and they will have to play out of their skins and hope for the best.
Barcelona have a good record against Sevilla and they will look to continue the good work.
