"Manuel Pellegrini will hope to cap a good week, in which he signed a new contract to keep him at the club until 2027, with Betis' first win over Barca since 2021. "It will be a very difficult match; Barcelona are in good form. But so are we, we're playing at home, and the three points would be important," Pellegrini said."
""We have to play a very complete game. Barcelona attack constantly, so we can't make defensive mistakes because they have a lot of technical quality. With good offensive transitions, we can hurt them." Barca have won their last five in the league and that run, coupled with Real Madrid dropping points, has seen the Catalans slide into top spot."
Real Betis host Barcelona in Seville with both teams in strong form; Betis have won six and drawn two of their last eight matches while Barcelona have won their last five league games. Manuel Pellegrini signed a new contract through 2027 and aims for Betis' first league win over Barcelona since 2021, warning against defensive errors and stressing offensive transitions. Frenkie de Jong is on the bench with a heavy cold and Raphinha also starts there; Roony Bardghji is named in Barcelona's starting XI. The match kicks off at 17:30 GMT with live coverage on La Liga TV via Premier Sports.
