"Barça come into this one looking to once again put pressure on Real Madrid and open up a temporary four-point gap at the top before their rivals play a tricky home game against Celta Vigo on Sunday, and a sixth consecutive league win would continue to boost the Blaugrana 's title credentials as we head into the second half of the season."
"Real Betis is their next challenge, and this promises to be another very tough test for Hansi Flick and his young troops. The stage will be different this time, however, as Betis will spend the next couple of seasons playing at La Cartuja while their iconic stadium, the Benito Villamarín, undergoes major renovation. Barça know La Cartuja well having just played there last April in a historic Copa del Rey Final,"
La Liga leaders FC Barcelona travel to Seville to face Real Betis at Estadio La Cartuja on Saturday evening aiming to strengthen a temporary four-point lead over Real Madrid. Barcelona seek a sixth straight league victory to bolster title credentials while managing absences including Marc-André ter Stegen, Ronald Araujo, Gavi and Dani Olmo. Real Betis arrive in form but will miss Héctor Bellerín, Sofyan Amrabat and Isco as they begin a spell playing home games at La Cartuja during Benito Villamarín renovations. Kick-off is 6.30pm CET; Francisco José Hernández Maeso will referee with VAR by Javier Iglesias Villanueva.
