Barcelona vs Sevilla live stream: Watch La Liga online
Barcelona host league leaders, Sevilla, at the Camp Nou on Saturday, Oct. 20. Here’s all the info you need to watch the match.
La Liga fans returning their focus to club football after the international break will probably have to pinch themselves once again when they look at the league table.
After eight game weeks, Sevilla are top of the table. It’s the first time since they won the title in the mid 1940s that they are top after eight game weeks and they fully merit that position after some impressive attacking performances against Levante and Real Madrid. Much of the credit for Sevilla’s revival — the Andalusians needed a derby draw in the second last match of last season to secure European qualification — can be given to the two standout forwards, Andre Sliva and Ben Yedder.
After a disappointing season in Italy, Silva has found new life on loan at Sevilla and has scored seven goals in his opening eight games, including a brace against Real Madrid. Ben Yedder was the club’s top goalscorer last season and is continuing that fine form in a new starting berth under Pablo Machin. The Frenchman has scored seven goals in his first eight appearances in all competitions.
In contrast, Barcelona are having an usually slow start to the season and are now winless in their last five league matches. This comes just a season after the Catalans went a record 39 games unbeaten in league play and nearly went undefeated last season until they lost their second last game against Levante. It is not usual for unbeaten sides to experience a dip in form after losing their streak. For instance, Real Madrid in 2016-17 failed to win four of their next 12 games in all competitions after Sevilla ended their record 40-match unbeaten streak. Barcelona have a near identical record in the same number of games and if Valverde can figure out his defensive issues ahead of Saturday’s game, one would back Barca to rediscover that invincible form.
