"Heading into the game, Flick's side enjoy a stunning record over Real Betis playing away from home in La Liga. After all, their last defeat on the road to Los Verdiblancos came in the 2007-08 season. It was in March 2008 that Real Betis last managed to beat Barcelona in Seville when they came back from 2-0 down to win by a 3-2 margin."
"Since then, the two teams have faced off in Real Betis' home venue on 14 occasions, and they have resulted in ten Barcelona wins, four draws, and no wins for the hosts. There was one occasion when Real Betis did beat Barcelona, which came back in the 2010-11 season, when the hosts took a 3-1 win in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinal. Notably, however, it did not affect the Catalans, who won the first leg 5-0."
