Fresh from securing their place in the Copa del Rey final, Barcelona now turn their attention back to La Liga.
Saturday evening brings an exciting La Liga matchup where league leaders Barcelona host an in-form Real Betis side on a six-game winning run. The Catalan giants hold a three-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table, while Real Betis, currently sixth, are making a late push for Champions League qualification, sitting six points behind fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao.
Fresh from securing their place in the Copa del Rey final with a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, Barcelona now turn their attention back to La Liga. Barcelona are the only team in Europe’s top-five leagues yet to suffer a defeat this year. In the reverse fixture earlier this season, Barca were held to a thrilling 2-2 draw by Real Betis in Seville.
After 46 matches in all competitions this season, Barcelona have amassed an astonishing 140 goals, averaging an impressive 3.04 goals per game. That tally puts them comfortably ahead of every other team in Europe’s top five leagues. Paris Saint-Germain trail by 17 goals with 123, followed by Real Madrid (118), Bayern Munich (114), and Liverpool (107).

Barcelona head into their La Liga clash this weekend with some injury concerns. Dani Olmo, Marc Casado, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, and goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen are all ruled out due to ongoing fitness issues. As a result, Hansi Flick’s squad rotation options are limited.
There is a positive update surrounding youngster Lamine Yamal, who picked up a painful cut to his foot during the midweek Copa del Rey semi-final. While a final decision on his availability will be made closer to kickoff, early signs suggest the 17-year-old will recover in time to play. Robert Lewandowski and Gavi both are pushing for starts in place of Ferran Torres and Fermin Lopez.
Real Betis will be without influential midfielder Isco, who is suspended after picking up a yellow card during the recent derby against Sevilla. Giovani Lo Celso is likely to replace Isco. Midfielder Marc Roca remains a doubt as he continues to recover from a foot injury.
Meanwhile, on-loan Manchester United winger Antony is expected to retain his spot on the right wing after delivering a string of impressive performances since his arrival in January.
