The beginning of the season for Sevilla does not look at all the way the fans expected. After three played rounds, Sevilla has won only one point. If they were meeting teams from the very top of Spanish football, that might not be such a worrying fact, but that is not the case now. All three games they played were against teams that were expected to fight for survival before the season. Almeria and Valladolid are teams that have been Primera members since this season, and even against them Sevilla failed to record a positive result. Unlike the previous year, Sevilla's defense at the beginning of the new season does not look good at all. They have conceded 5 goals in the three games so far, which is quite worrying if we look at the teams they played against. Two standard central defenders from the previous season, Kounde and Diego Carlos, left the team and judging by the start of the new season, their absence is very much felt. With only one goal scored in three games, it is clear how difficult the task will be against a very playful Barcelona.

After an extremely turbulent period last season, the departure of Messi, various stories about the club's bankruptcy, reduction of player salaries, problems with player registration, Barcelona is slowly starting to look like the old club from its most glorious days. Lewandowski, Kessie, Kounde, Raphinha, Christensen and in the last two days Marcos Alonso and Bellerin arrived at the club. Barcelona did a more than good job in the transfer period and it seems that Xavi has perfectly integrated the new players into his game system. After a somewhat poor game against Rayo Vallecano and a goalless game, many wondered if there was any hope for Barcelona. But after that draw, it was the turn of the games against Athletic Bilbao and Valladolid in which Barça, I must say, demonstrated the force. They scored eight goals in those two games, and according to the game shown, it seemed that they could have scored much more than that. Barcelona really seem strong at the moment and the atmosphere in the team is at an extremely high level. In addition to the impressive attack, Barcelona's defense also deserves praise. Only one conceded goal in three games can be a great encouragement before the game with Sevilla, who have problems with realization. Due to the style of play that Sevilla have had in the last couple of years, I don't expect a game with too many goals and it really wouldn't be a surprise if we didn't see a goal in the first half. In the heads of Sevilla's players, there is certainly the fact that Sevilla has not won a single match against Barcelona in the last 13 league games between them.

According to everything shown so far and the individual quality of the players, I have to give the advantage to Barcelona in this game and I believe that they can score at least two goals in this difficult away game.
