La Liga giants Barcelona will host Sevilla in the eighth La Liga 2019-20 at Camp Nou on Monday (10/07/2019) early morning hrs.
Barcelona had swayed at the beginning of this season. But lately, Ernesto Valverde’s team seems to have found a way to be able to continue to win even though they can’t always rely on Lionel Messi.
The Blaugrana have now won three successive wins after being defeated by Granada 2-0. They overcame resistance from Villarreal, Getafe and most recently, Inter Milan.
Barca was forced to work hard by Inter when they met in the Champions League. They were left behind through a goal by Lautaro Martinez. But the Blaugrana were finally able to reverse the position through brace Luis Suarez.
Meanwhile, Sevilla also underwent an identical start with Barcelona. Of the seven matches, they have won four times, drawn once and lost twice.
They were overthrown by Real Madrid and Eibar. But Julen Lopetegui’s team managed to get up in their last two matches. They won over Real Sociedad and Apoel Nicosia in the Europa League stage.
Both of these teams must both want to win again in this match. Three points will be a good provision before entering the international break.
