A high-profile match between two of the top teams in the 2016-2017 La Liga season, Sevilla FC (6-1-3, 21 points) and FC Barcelona (7-2-1, 22 points), is scheduled on Nov. 6, Sunday at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 2:45 p.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Sevilla is on a roll right now with a four-game unbeaten streak. The team has also been undefeated in five of their last six outings to move up to the fourth spot of the current league table, tied on points with third-place team Atletico Madrid but has a lesser goal difference.
Los Rojiblancos settled to a 1-1 tie with lowly team Sporting Gijon in their most recent match last Saturday held on the road at the El Molinon Stadium, as per the Guardian.
Argentine striker Luciano Vietto netted the opening goal right in the fourth minute of the contest with a left-footed shot from the center of the box off an assist from fellow striker Wissam Ben Yedder.
The score was equalized in the 20th minute by Sporting Gijon midfielder Moi Gomez as he buried a right-footer from a cross by defender Roberto Canella.
It was the first drawn match for the Sevillistas in the last six rounds.
Meanwhile, defending champions Barcelona is on a three-game winning streak after their sorry defeat to Celta Vigo last month.
Their last game resulted in a 1-0 nipping of cellar-dwelling side Granada at their home ground of Camp Nou, SkySports reported.
Brazilian midfielder Rafinha netted the winning goal for the Catalonia giants with a bicycle kick in the 48th minute, as the trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, and Neymar was silenced by the Nazaríes' defense.
Head coach Luis Enrique's squad has been looking lethargic in their last few performances barely squeaking out wins in the Spanish top flight.
Barça is currently in the second spot of the league table, two points behind league leaders and arch-rivals Real Madrid and a point above Atletico Madrid and Sevilla.
