Only Barcelona have been able to beat Sevilla at the Sanchez-Pizjuan

Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli and his side are unbeaten at home in La Liga or the Champions League, but Barca won...

Sevilla have turned the Sanchez Pizjuan into an authentic fortress at the start of this season, in La Liga and the Champions League. All their games there have resulted in wins without a single point being dropped. A total of seven matches have led to seven wins, 17 goals for and 6 against. Teams like Atletico Madrid and Olympique Lyon have bitten the dust there. 

Now Sevilla host Barcelona on Sunday after their big win over Zagreb in the Champions League. It is a tough task for Barcelona but they can take confidence in being the only team to get a result at the Pizjuan this season, when they won the Spanish Super Cup first leg 2-0 thanks to goals from Luis Suarez and Munir El Haddadi. 

Evidently Sunday's game will be very different, with both teams much more settled into their respective seasons than they were on August 14. Sevilla are strong and confident now, but the Trident will certainly have a say, and Messi is very Messi.
