Barcelona vs Sevilla Prediction 29.09.2023

• Competition: Spain - LaLiga
• Date: Friday, 29th, September 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21.00 CEST
• Venue: Estadi de Montjuic (Barcelona)

The reigning champions, Barcelona, will strive to maintain their 100% home record in all competitions when they host Sevilla at the Estadi de Montjuic on Matchday 7 of LaLiga.

Despite entering Tuesday's match with an impressive streak of six consecutive victories across all competitions, Barcelona's dominant run came to a halt at Son Moix Stadium as they shared the spoils in a dramatic 2-2 draw against Aguirre's Mallorca. With that hard-earned draw, they maintain their grip on the top spot in the table with 17 points after seven matches. However, Xavi's squad might find themselves in the second or even third position come Matchday 7 in LaLiga, as Girona (16 pts) and their fierce rivals, Real Madrid (15 pts), have a game in hand.

For more than a month, Sevilla's footballers seemed stuck in a quagmire. The Andalusian outfit endured a torrid start to the season, losing each of their opening four games, including a painful 4-5 penalty shootout loss to Guardiola's Manchester in the UEFA Super Cup final. However, in recent weeks, the Rojiblancos have not only broken free from their slump but have also notably improved the team's morale and their on-field performance. As they enter Friday's showdown, they bring a four-game unbeaten streak with them. Sevilla, opposite the Blaugrana, presented themselves in their best light of the season so far in midweek, demolishing Almeria on their turf 5-1.

Barcelona vs Sevilla Betting Tips: Barcelona to Win

What immediately catches the eye is the remarkable adaptation of the Catalan giants to their temporary home at the Estadi Olimpic de Montjuic, where they have notched up victories in all four of their competitive fixtures, scoring an impressive 15 goals in the process. Besides, it's important to remember that Sevilla's visits to Barcelona have been nothing short of a recurring nightmare for the Andalusian side, as they haven't savored the sweet taste of victory in a staggering 14 years, dating back to 2010. During this lengthy period, they have endured an astonishing 19 defeats and managed just two draws. Consequently, it will be captivating to see if Barcelona can carry over its dominance from Camp Nou to the temporary Estadi de Montjuic.

Despite displaying signs of a revival in recent weeks, Rojiblancos haven't fared well in their recent LaLiga away outings, as they've been without a victory for a full four months (D2, L2). It's true that Jose Luis Mendilibar's men have the capacity to make things difficult for Blaugrana in Friday's clash, especially after dismantling Almeria 5-1 in their season's best performance. However, Xavi's team, though appearing vulnerable at the bottom lately, should prove their worth and secure all three points in front of their beloved fans.
