"Barcelona look to make history as the first club in a 20-team Spanish top-flight season to have a perfect home record when they welcome Real Betis to Camp Nou."
"we are expecting the exact same team that started El Clásico but with just one change. That change won't be at the back, however, as we think Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Martín and João Cancelo will form the same back four that started last week."
"Flick left Frenkie de Jong and Fermín López off the squad for the trip to Alavés in midweek and it seems as though De Jong will be handled very carefully as he builds up his fitness for the World Cup, so we think the Dutchman will start this one on the bench and Gavi and Pedri will reunite in the double pivot after being rested against Alavés, with Dani Olmo likely keeping his spot in the number 10 position."
"Raphinha missed the midweek trip to Alavés through suspension and is also being carefully managed with the World Cup in mind, so we think the Brazilian will begin this one on the bench with Fermín taking his spot on the left wing and Marcus Rashford moving back to the right side. Robert Lewandowski is expected to play his last home game for Barça on Sunday, so we think he'll start this one ahead of Ferran Torres up front."
Barcelona host Real Betis at Camp Nou with motivation to make history as the first club in a 20-team Spanish top-flight season to achieve a perfect home record. A strong lineup is expected, largely matching the team that started El Clásico, with one change. Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, and João Cancelo are expected to form the back four. Frenkie de Jong is expected to start on the bench after being left out midweek, while Gavi and Pedri are expected to reunite in the double pivot. Dani Olmo is expected to keep the number 10 role. Raphinha is expected to be benched due to suspension, with Fermín on the left wing and Marcus Rashford on the right. Robert Lewandowski is expected to start up front ahead of Ferran Torres.
