BAR vs SEV Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

Barcelona can cut Real Madrid’s five points lead at the top to just two points when they host Sevilla at Camp Nou this weekend in La Liga.

Inconsistency has pegged Barcelona back too many times already this season. No wonder the pressure is growing on Ernesto Valverde after each round of dissatisfactory result. It’s not a hidden secret that Valverde needs to string together a good run to enjoy some comfort in his job again.

That said, Barca are already on the recovery road having won three times in the last four league games heading into this match.

Sevilla, meanwhile, returned to winning ways last week after winning 3-2 against Real Sociedad.

Julen Lopetegui’s team can also move to 2nd on the table if they manage a win at Camp Nou, which will be Sevilla’s first on this ground in 17 years.

The La Liga match will be played between Barcelona and Sevilla at Camp Nou, in Catalonia, Spain. The ground has a capacity of 99,354.
The game will start at 12:30 AM (IST), on Monday, October 07.

Left-back Junior Firpo will miss the game due to a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old joins Samuel Umtiti in the treatment room.
