Trenyorat's keeper Luis Enrique has a lot of personnel problems before today's meeting and out of this game are injured Ter Stegen, Iniesta, Mascherano and Mathieu. New signing Andre Gomes is suspended, while Neymar and Rafinha are with the national team of Brazil, the Olympics, and their forthcoming finale.
Place in the first team, however, found Kaptum, who was pulled from the second team of Barcelona. Today hosts will try to reach an edgy win for the launch of the campaign.
Historically Barcelona have not lost their first game of the season at home since 1939 when the team was defeated by a single goal from the city opponent Espanyol.
Moreover Barca enjoyed five consecutive wins at the start of the season, when the team opens its campaign Stadium, and today it is on track to achieve the sixth one.
Sevillians in turn did not win in 14 consecutive visits to today's opponent and cashed some 12 losses in these meetings and two draws.
Our forecast for this meeting was a success with three clean goals for Barca.
