La Liga: Champs Barcelona expect to extend unbeaten run against Sevilla

Reigning La Liga champions Barcelona will be aiming to return to winning ways today when they host Sevilla, while two of the Premier League big-hitters, Tottenham and Liverpool, will put their unbeaten records on the line when they square off in North London tomorrow, Saturday.

Event # 1 – SPA – Barcelona vs Sevilla – 2:00 PM

Barcelona will go head-to-head against Sevilla today, September 29, at Camp Nou. The league leaders enter this game off the back of a 2-2 midweek draw with Mallorca, while Sevilla were more impressive in their 5-1 thrashing of Almeria on Tuesday. Indeed, Barcelona had entered Tuesday’s clash against Mallorca boasting a six-game winning run in all competitions but were forced to settle for a share of the points. The reigning champions had to come from behind twice, ensuring they remained unbeaten this season, boasting a record of five wins and two draws from their first seven matches — they lead the league with 17 points and will be aiming to return to winnings ways ahead of their champions league match away to Porto next week.

Meanwhile, Sevilla have found it difficult to get going so far this season, but they appear to be hitting form at the right time and they will enter this vital clash off the back of a four-match unbeaten run in all competitions, including the big 5-1 hammering they dished out on Almeria in midweek. Since losing 2-1 at home to Girona at the end of August, Sevilla have not lost a match, picking up seven points from their last three leagues matches to jump up to 11th in the table. With that said, the Europa League winners, Sevilla, will be high on confidence heading to Barcelona but are still aware of how things can change quickly in football, especially against a team they have not beaten at home in over eight years.

Key Stats

● Barcelona – Barcelona are unbeaten against Sevilla in their last six matches, winning five of those during this run. Indeed, Barcelona have scored two or more goals in six of their last seven matches so far this season.

● Sevilla – Sevilla have lost their last three head-to-head matches against Barcelona and have failed to win any of their last four away matches.

● Both sides – Barcelona have won each of their last three matches in the league against Sevilla, while they have not lost to Sevilla in the league for over eight years.

The betting Tip. Barcelona win.

Event # 2 EPL – Tottenham vs Liverpool – 11:30 AM

Following their midweek Carabao clash, unbeaten and back in-form Liverpool will travel to Tottenham, who they themselves have had an impressive and unbeaten start to the season.

Ange Postecoglou’s unbeaten start to life at Tottenham will be put to the test when they host red-hot Liverpool at home tomorrow, Saturday, for the Premier League headline clash for the weekend. Tottenham came from behind twice in a captivating 2-2 draw in their North London derby with Arsenal last weekend, a point that kept them fourth in the table. The in-form Tottenham will be aiming to finally end their rotten run of form against a Liverpool team that they last defeated back in 2017, a 4-1 beating.

Liverpool have started their Premier League season better than everyone might have expected, with five wins and one draw from their six matches and remains unbeaten behind Manchester City who sits atop the table. Liverpool have been impressive with wins over the likes of Newcastle and Aston Villa, who are both expected to challenge for the title this season, but a trip to the high-flying Tottenham represents the Red’s toughest challenge to date, and will test their title credentials. With that said, despite their poor campaign last season, Liverpool won home and away against Tottenham and if they can pull off another win on Saturday, it could be a real statement of intent from the rejuvenated Reds. Indeed, they will be highly motivated ahead of this clash as they have not lost to Tottenham since 2017, winning nine of their last 12 clashes since, which includes the 2019 Champions League title.

Key Stats

● Tottenham – Tottenham are on a four-match winning streak and have scored at least once in their last 23 matches in all competitions.

● Liverpool – Liverpool have won their last five matches in a row and are unbeaten in their last eight overall matches in all competitions.

● Both sides – It has been five years since Tottenham beat Liverpool at home in any competitions, both teams met last in May this year and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

The betting Tip. Draw.
