FC Seoul vs Barcelona Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Pre-season friendlies 2025

This will be the first-ever clash between the two clubs.

FC Seoul are ready to host Barcelona in a pre-season club friendly game. The interesting contest between the two teams will take place at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

FC Seoul will be at home, but it is not going to be an easy game for the K League 1 side. They have shown some decent performances in their ongoing campaign and are placed fourth on their league table. It will be interesting to see them against the Spanish side, and despite being a friendly game, they will be looking to give their all.

The Hansi Flick-led Barcelona are coming in after taking down Vissel Kobe. It was a good overall performance by the Blaugrana, but some of their top players did not perform up to the standards. The LaLiga giants will be away from home, but will be confident enough as they have quality players in their squad.
