Sevilla FC and FC Barcelona will face off on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium in a crucial LaLiga EA Sports showdown. The match is set for 3:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. CT / 12:00 p.m. PT.

Barcelona Eyes the Top Spot

Hansi Flick's squad heads into this match with a golden opportunity to close the gap on LaLiga leaders, Real Madrid. With 45 points, Barcelona sits just four points behind the top, making a win in Seville crucial for their title ambitions.

The Catalan side is in top form, having crushed Valencia 5-0 in the Copa del Rey and secured back-to-back league victories. With Robert Lewandowski finding his best rhythm and Lamine Yamal continuing to shine, the Blaugrana aim to impose their style and take home all three points.

Sevilla’s Battle for Consistency

Under Xavi García Pimienta, Sevilla has endured a turbulent season and currently sits in 12th place with 28 points. However, the Andalusian club is unbeaten in its last four matches, recording one win and three draws, showing signs of improvement.

With a strong home crowd behind them, Sevilla will look to disrupt Barcelona’s momentum. Rafa Mir and Erik Lamela are expected to play key roles in the attack as they seek a statement victory.

The last encounter between these two teams saw Barcelona thrash Sevilla 5-1 at the Spotify Camp Nou on October 20, 2024. However, Sevilla hopes for redemption on home soil, where they have historically been a tough opponent for the Catalans.

Pre-Match Statements

Hansi Flick: "Our focus must be on ourselves. We can't rely on other teams dropping points; we need to maintain our rhythm and keep winning."

Xavi García Pimienta: "We know it won’t be an easy match, but we trust our squad and our fans to help us get a good result."
