This has been a very weird Barcelona season. The team started with six straight wins and have won two fantastic Champions League matches so far. But a run of four games without a win in La Liga leaves this team loaded with questions.
To make things tougher, Saturday’s game against league leaders Sevilla starts what could be the biggest week of the season for Barça, with a massive Champions League clash with Inter Milan and El Clásico against Real Madrid all to be played within the next seven days.
Lose all three, and Ernesto Valverde may lose his job. Win all three, all the questions are answered. But Sevilla are on fire right now, and Barça must be at their absolute best to have a real shot at winning. Can they do it? We’ll find out.
POSSIBLE LINEUPS
Barcelona (4-3-3): Ter Stegen; Semedo, Piqué, Umtiti, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur; Messi, Suárez, Coutinho
Sevilla (3-5-2): Vaclik; Carriço, Kjaer, Gómez; Navas, Sarabia, Banega, Vázquez, Arana; André Silva, Ben Yedder
PREDICTION
I have no idea with this team, but I’ll try one anyway: 2-1 Barça? Maybe? Again, no idea.
