Barcelona Aiming for Third Consecutive La Liga Victory
Barcelona remain unbeaten since the start of the year and will look to continue their winning streak when they visit Sevilla on Sunday evening.
With the Madrid derby on Saturday potentially dropping points, La Blaugrana have a golden opportunity to close the gap at the top. Fresh off a dominant 5-0 victory over Valencia in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona will be full of confidence. Having won the reverse fixture 5-1 in October, they have now beaten Sevilla in their last six encounters.
Sevilla, despite being unbeaten in their last four matches, sit in 12th place in La Liga after an inconsistent campaign. Francisco Javier Garcia Pimienta’s side has struggled to find rhythm and will be wary of Barcelona’s attacking threat.

Barcelona Team News and Predicted Lineup
Barcelona could welcome back Gavi after the midfielder missed the midweek clash against Valencia due to a head injury. However, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, and Andreas Christensen remain sidelined.
Dani Olmo made his return from injury as a substitute in the Valencia match, while Robert Lewandowski and Ronald Araujo should be fresh and ready to start after being rested midweek.

Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
Sevilla vs Barcelona Score Prediction
Barcelona head into this match as clear favorites, having dominated recent meetings with Sevilla. They have not lost this fixture since February 2021 and put five past Sevilla earlier this season.
While this match may not be as one-sided as their previous encounter, Barcelona’s firepower should be enough to secure another victory. The Catalan giants are the highest-scoring team in La Liga with 60 goals in 22 matches and have extra motivation to close the gap on the top two.
Prediction: Sevilla 1-3 Barcelona
