--------------------------------
FC Seoul
FC Seoul, coached by Kim Gi-dong, is 4th in the 2025 K League 1 with 9 wins, 9 draws, and 6 losses from 24 matches, sitting 3 points behind 2nd-placed Gimcheon. They won 1-0 against Daejeon Hana Citizen on July 27, 2025, with a Jesse Lingard penalty (56’). Their form includes 3 wins and 2 losses in their last five, averaging 0.8 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded. Key players include Lingard (7 goals, 3 assists), Moon Seon-min (5 goals), and Lucas Rodrigues da Silva (4 goals). Seoul’s strengths are their midfield creativity and home form at Seoul World Cup Stadium (2 wins in last 3), but their low scoring rate is a concern. Patryk Klimala is doubtful, and Jun Choi may return from suspension. They aim to test themselves against elite opposition.
FC Barcelona
Barcelona, led by Hansi Flick, is preparing for the 2025-26 La Liga season after a domestic treble (La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup) and a Champions League semi-final run in 2024-25. They beat Vissel Kobe 3-1 on July 27, 2025, with goals from Eric Garcia, Pedro Fernandez, and Roony Bardghji, averaging 2.25 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded in friendlies. Key players include Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and new signings Marcus Rashford (on loan from Manchester United) and Roony Bardghji. Barcelona’s strengths are their attacking flair and young talent, but their rotated squad may lack cohesion. They aim for back-to-back pre-season wins before facing Daegu and Como.
Head-to-Head
FC Seoul and Barcelona have no prior meetings, making this their first encounter. Friendlies between K League 1 and La Liga sides average over 2.5 goals, with 60% both teams scoring (BTTS), due to open play.
Predicted Score: FC Seoul 1-3 FC Barcelona
This friendly on July 31, 2025, at Seoul World Cup Stadium, at 7:00 PM KST (6:00 AM EDT), is part of Barcelona’s Asia tour, per Dailysports.net. Seoul’s Lingard faces Barcelona’s Yamal and Rashford, with Seoul’s home crowd (expected sell-out) testing Barcelona’s rotated lineup, per Blaugranagram. Barcelona are favorites (-200 odds) over Seoul (+450), with a draw at +300, per Sofascore.com. Trends (Barcelona: 70% over 2.5 goals; Seoul: 40%) suggest goals, per Dailysports.net. The 28°C evening should keep cards low. Barcelona is likely to score through Rashford or Yamal, with Lingard possibly netting for Seoul. Barcelona’s class and attacking style should secure a comfortable win, though Seoul’s home energy may yield a goal,
