Sevilla finished 17th in La Liga last season, their worst result since being relegated from the top flight in the 1999/2000 season.
Relegation last season would have been disastrous for a club like Sevilla, and they finished just one point above the bottom three teams. However, there are positive signs that fans no longer need to fear a relegation battle.
Sevilla started this season with back-to-back defeats against Athletic Bilbao and Getafe. However, Los Nervionenses have won three of their last five league matches, suffering just one defeat.
Currently, the Blaugrana have dropped to second place in the 2025/2026 La Liga standings. Real Madrid, who won last night against Villarreal, are top of the table with 21 points.
Meanwhile, Barcelona is in second place with 19 points heading into this seventh matchday. Therefore, Hansi Flick’s squad must pick up three points at Sevilla tonight if they want to return to first place.
Barcelona chances of picking up all three points in this match remain very strong, despite losing 0-1 to Paris Saint-Germain in La Champions League last week. In the 2025/2026 La Liga season, Barcelona has recorded impressive results, going unbeaten in their first seven matches, with four wins.
The Blaugrana have a good record against Sevilla. The Catalan team is unbeaten in 19 matches against Sevilla, winning 15 and drawing four.
With the Blaugrana’s performance this season, they have a chance to continue that good record against Sevilla. We predict a 3-1 victory for Barcelona.
