The Catalans will want to bounce back from their mid-week defeat to Athletic Bilbao to remain hot on the tails of table-toppers Real Madrid. Having dominated Sevilla over the last couple of years, the Blaugrana will be looking to extend their unbeaten run over Los Verdiblancos.

Real Betis, in this fixture, are considered overwhelming underdogs and will have little or nothing to play for in this game against defending champions Barcelona. The home side will be looking to avoid taking too many hits against this Lionel Messi-inspired outfit.

Games don’t get any more exciting than this. Expect this to be an entertaining and enthralling encounter between the two teams at the Nou Camp.

Real Betis vs Barcelona Team News

Following their elimination from the Copa del Rey, Barcelona will be particular about getting things right back on track. We can expect a determined effort from the Blaugrana for a dominating win this Sunday, and it surely helps that they are taking on a Betis squad, that were winless in five of their last six league fixtures.

Real Betis were held to a 1-1 draw on the road the last match-day by Eibar. It was their third winless game in a row, and the fifth in the league from their past six attempts. This slump in form has hurt the team really bad, and especially their ambitions to make it into Europe.

As of now, Betis have secured a total of 28 points from their 22 matches, and with just 16 game-weeks remaining in the competition, they have a lot of ground to cover in order to fulfill their dream.

Meanwhile, Barcelona recorded a dominating 2-1 win at home in their latest league fixture. While the score-line was close, the hosts had controlled proceedings for the entirety of the ninety minutes.

The match also saw Ansu Fati rising to occasion with a brace to present his team the win. The youngster from La Masia is once again bringing back confidence to the famed Barcelona academy.

Barcelona are the two-time champions of the competition and are currently placed second in the table. Moreover, internal management problems aside, the team has once again started to perform well on the pitch under new gaffer Quique Setien.

The team might have lost their Copa Quarters, but they surely had made their mark on the game. On the other hand, though, Betis have a total of two league wins this past two-month period, and they are currently placed in the bottom half of the table.

Importantly, Barcelona have dominated this opponent for very long in h2h clashes. In fact, they had won the reverse fixture 5-2, and had scored a total of 43 goals from the past 11 h2h meetings. Barca have also recorded 19 of the last 23 h2h wins, and it’s been 12 years since the Catalans have lost a league game at this venue.
