Possible Lineups

Real Betis

Manuel Pellegrini will be without attacking midfielder Nabil Fekir from this crunch fixture against Barcelona. The 29-year-old is nursing a muscle injury and has been sidelined since January 16th. Having already missed three matches, the club’s medical department has set no return date.

Barcelona

Real Betis will employ a disciplined approach based upon a tight defensive structure designed to minimize the spaces and prevent Barcelona from penetrating between the lines. They will also look to attack Barcelona’s high line through quick breaks behind the defense.

Prediction

Manuel Pellegrini will be looking to get a good performance from his charges when the Blaugrana come to town on Wednesday.
Real Betis are also facing two suspension absences: right-back Martín Montoya and center-forward Loren Morón.
Barcelona will be looking to maintain or extend this lead when they travel to face a strong Real Betis side. Xavi will be hoping that his side will leverage their recent form and let their quality shine through.
Barcelona will continue their good run of form by winning this match and taking the three points on offer.
