Currently on a five-match unbeaten streak in the league, Real Betis will be bidding to continue their impressive form when they welcome Barca to their ground here. They are returning to league action after being dumped out of the Copa del Rey by Athletic Bilbao through penalties.

Barcelona, on the other hand, booked a place in the semi-finals of the cup competition after claiming a 5-3 victory over Granada on Wednesday. They will switch their attention back to the league, as they seek to clinch their sixth successive victory in the competition.

Real Betis vs Barcelona Team News

After ending a disappointing previous campaign in 15th-place, Real Betis are challenging for continental qualification this term. Having amassed a total of 30 points from 21 matches, they presently sit in 7th-place, just two points shy of sixth-placed Real Sociedad.

The Green and Whites managed to steal all three points in their last fixture against Osasuna. It was an even contest until the 79th minute when Betis grabbed the lead via a goal from Borja Iglesias Quintas. They held on tightly to this lead and capped off their match-winning performance with a clean sheet.

Manuel Pellegrini's men will head into this contest full of confidence, as they have won three of their last four league games. And if they are able to avoid defeat this weekend, it will highlight the improvement in their home form.

On a nine-game unbeaten run in the league, Barcelona are enjoying a great run of form at the moment. In fact, they have won their last five matches in the league. This imperious form has seen them leapfrog their bitter rivals, Real Madrid into 2nd-place – albeit due to a superior goal difference.

Barcelona can't afford slipups at the moment as they sit 10 points adrift league leaders, Atletico Madrid despite playing a game more. Having struggled earlier in the season, the Blaugrana seem to have steadied their ship as they seek to sail to title triumph this term.

Ronald Koeman will urge his charges not to let their guards down at this point in time. The Blaugrana will fancy a win when they take on Betis on Sunday, as anything less will further dent their hopes of winning the title this season.

It was a seven-goal thriller when these two sides met earlier in the season with Barcelona coming out victorious. It goes without saying that this contest is bound to be goal-laden, as the free-scoring Catalan club get ready to tackle tricky Betis.

Injured or Suspended Players

Real Betis: Victor Camarasa, Dani Martin, Marc Bartra and Diego Lainez.

Real Betis vs Barcelona Predictions

Real Betis have conceded an embarrassing 34 goals in the league - the joint-worst defensive record in the top flight this season. To avoid a repeat of the score-line of the reverse fixture, they will need to put their defense in order.

Meanwhile, Barcelona boast the best attacking output in the league so far this season. They will look to flaunt their attacking strength when they travel to Seville on Sunday. We expect a goal-laden contest, with Barcelona coming off as winners.
