Barcelona head to Seville on Sunday, October 5, 2025, aiming to extend their unbeaten start in La Liga and tighten their grip at the top of the table. Hansi Flick’s side are flying high with 19 points from 7 games, unbeaten and boasting a +16 goal difference, which is the best in the league. They will arrive with a point to prove too, after suffering their first loss of the season in midweek against Paris Saint-Germain, as reported by Softfootball.
Sevilla, on the other hand, enter the clash under some pressure. Matías Almeyda’s men snatched a 1-0 win at Rayo Vallecano with their only shot on target, but the underlying stats raise eyebrows. Winless in three home games under Almeyda (D1, L2). With just one home La Liga win in all of 2025, the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán has been anything but a fortress.
Barcelona, meanwhile, have been ruthless in this fixture. The Catalans are unbeaten in their last 10 against Sevilla, winning seven straight, including a 5-1 demolition earlier this year. Their record in Andalusia is just as intimidating, losing only once in their last 18 away league trips to the region. Add to that their club-record run of scoring in 45 successive matches, and Sevilla’s backline will need something close to perfect.
Team news provides another twist. Sevilla may still be without Alfon, Kike Salas, and Tanguy Nianzou, while Alexis Sánchez gears up to face his former club. At Barcelona, key men Raphinha and Fermín López remain sidelined, and teenage sensation Lamine Yamal could also miss out after recent injury news reported by Softfootball. On the positive side, Flick has welcomed Alejandro Balde back into the squad, a boost that should help keep the balance.
Barcelona posted a preparatory video on their official X account, showing their readiness to extend their unbeaten La Liga run.

With Marcus Rashford in red-hot form as he has been directly involved in seven goals in his last six appearances, Barcelona travel not just as favorites but as a side determined to show that their midweek setback was only a blip. Sevilla may find inspiration in Alexis Sánchez’s reunion storyline, but history, form, and firepower all tilt the scales towards another Blaugrana win.
