Barcelona Form

Consistency has not been a trademark for Barcelona recently, and their last three matches first saw them sharing the points in a 0-0 draw with Getafe. This was followed by a 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid, before they lost 2-1 against Rayo Vallecano. Barcelona won five of their last six La Liga matches at the Spotify Camp Nou, scoring nine and conceding one along they way. They also drew once as they remained without defeat.

Real Betis Form

Barcelona are aiming for a win this coming Saturday, but they could settle for containing their opponent Real Betis instead of chasing a high-scoring win.

Real Betis took five wins from their last 14 games against teams from the top half of the La Liga table. They collected 19 points, scored 14 goals and conceded 13.
