Possible lineups for Real Betis v Barcelona match

Real Betis host Barcelona to the Benito Villamarin on Saturday for their La Liga matchday 16 encounter. The two teams enter the game in contrasting form, with league leaders Barcelona riding a wave of momentum under Hansi Flick, while Betis, currently 11th in the table, struggle for consistency.

Since Flick's arrival, Barcelona have steadily progressed, with the German manager appearing to have resolved key tactical issues that plagued the team in their last games. The Catalans now look sharper both defensively and offensively, solidifying their position at the top of the standings.

In contrast, Betis are enduring a difficult period in the league. The Andalusians have managed just one victory in their last five matches, a 2-0 win in the Copa del Rey against fourth-tier side UE Sant Andreu. Their poor domestic form has left fans concerned about their chances against an in-form Barcelona.

Real Betis possible lineup: Silva (GK); Sabaly, Bartra, Llorente, Perraud; Guirao, Altimira; Fornals, Lo Celso, Ezzalzouli; Roque.

Barcelona possible lineup: Pena (GK); Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; Pedri, Casado; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski.
