This Sunday, La Liga’s matchday 8 features a key match at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in Seville, where Sevilla will take on league leaders Barcelona. Here’s a betting tip for this game with a high chance of success.
Match preview
Matías Almeyda’s Sevilla are showing improvement, with their recent win over Rayo Vallecano highlighting their progress. The team is working on balancing attack and defense, but they still struggle at home, having only won one of their last 13 La Liga matches at their stadium.
Sevilla can create scoring opportunities and are among the higher-scoring teams in the league. However, their weak home defense makes every game a challenge, as they frequently concede two goals per match at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
On the other hand, Hans Flick’s Barcelona are on a roll: they have won four consecutive league matches and sit at the top of the table. Barcelona consistently scores more than two goals per game and has shown impressive form against tough opponents.
Additionally, Barcelona has a strong away record, with ten wins in their last eleven league matches on the road. Their squad depth and confidence allow them to control games and finish scoring opportunities, even with some injuries.
