Betis FC Barcelona match preview

It cannot be said that this duel is a big derby but it is certainly the most interesting match of this round. Overall, we expected a lot more from Betis this season, but they are playing very well lately and they have three wins in the past four rounds, two of which in a row, which raises their confidence against Barcelona, ​​which holds La Liga absolutely under control and they are convincingly first, but they were defeated in the Cup during the week. At the start of this season, Barcelona has defeated Betis with 2-0 at Nou Camp.

Betis

Betis has finally stared playing better, and we can for the last two games say that they are in a good mood, because they have scored eight goals in these two games. After defeating Malaga away, they have spoiled it all with a home defeat by Athletic Bilbao, and then came the city derby with Sevilla and they have shinned there and defeated their rival with 5-3 on their field. They played a great game and celebrated at Sanchez Pizjuan after a long time, and they have confirmed their victory when they celebrated over Leganes at home in the last round.

They were expecting a more convincing triumph than the final 3-2, especially after the 2-0 lead, however, the persistent guests have reached 2-2, while the reservist Ruben Castro has brought them the victory in the finish. Their defence has expectedly had problems because the suspended Mandi and Feddal were out of action, but they are now returning, which means that there will be at least two changes in their composition.

Probable lineups Betis Sevilla: Adan – Francis, Mandi, Feddal, Durmisi – J.Garcia, Fabian, Guardado – Joaquin, S.Leon, Tello

FC Barcelona

Barcelona has nevertheless suffered the first defeat this season, but it can be said that it is not so painful, or at least not yet, since they lost the first match of the King's Cup quarterfinals. It is not very pleasant when you lose from the city rival Espanyol, and even without any goals scored, so those 1-0 puts an unpleasant task ahead of Messi and his teammates in rematch. Coach Valverde has changed the team a little bit, but not so much to have a justification for defeat because Messi was in the team.

Some players were not in the team due to injury, and their expensive boost Dembel is again on that list. Another expensive boost Coutinho has not yet debited due to injury, and Iniesta was also absent. Now Paulinho is injured and we expect new changes in the starting lineup, where we are now hoping for Semed and J.Albo on the side positions, and maybe Mina gets a chance. L.Suarez will certainly be in the top of the attack, who took a breather in the Cup, as well as goalkeeper Ter Stegen.

Probable lineups FC Barcelona: ter Stegen – Semedo, Pique, Vermaelen(Mina), J.Alba – Busquets, Rakitić, A.Gomes, Rafinha – Messi, L.Suarez

Verdict:

Barcelona begins to show some weaknesses and it is no wonder, because they are not complete, and they are tired, so Betis could use it to score some goals in front of their fans. Barcelona should not play two matches in a row with bad attack, so that will also contribute to an efficient match.
