Barcelona, scheduled for February 9th at 9 PM CET, presents a compelling narrative in Spanish football. Barcelona currently occupies the third position in the league, demonstrating strong form recently with a notable 5-0 victory over Valencia . In contrast, Sevilla sits lower in the standings at thirteenth but remains within striking distance of European qualification. This match will be hosted at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere and passionate supporters.
Sevilla may be unbeaten in their last four matches but are currently sat 12th in La Liga following a mediocre campaign. Francisco Javier Garcia Pimienta's side have struggled for consistency and will be fearing the worst ahead of Barcelona's visit.
Former Barça youth manager Francisco García Pimienta has a well-organized and dangerous team capable of causing anyone trouble, especially with the combination of pace and power in their midfield and front three.

Dodi Lukébakio has been quite the thorn in Barça’s side in the last couple of meetings, exploiting the Blaugrana’s high line with his speed to great effect to create extreme danger. He will be Sevilla’s big hope on Sunday, and Alejandro Balde and the rest of the back four must be at their best to catch the right winger with well-timed offside traps.
Sevilla possible starting lineup: Nyland; Sanchez, Bade, Gudelj, Pedrosa; Saul, Lokonga, Sow; Lukebakio, Romero, Vargas
Barcelona possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Gavi, Raphinha; Lewandowski
Heading into the match at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, Barcelona are third in the league standings on 45 points, four behind leaders Real Madrid. Sevilla on the other hand, will be gunning for a rise into the top half of the table, having garnered 28 points thus far, and sitting 12th.
Hosts Sevilla haven't managed many wins in recent matches though their run at home has been more encouraging. There’s the expectation that they'll have to capitalize as much as possible on their home matches, having earned 18 of their points at this ground. This might not unsettle Barca though, given their strong run against Sevilla over the years.
