Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys will play host to an intriguing La Liga contest on Saturday evening, with division leaders Barcelona welcoming a Real Betis side that have won each of their last six league fixtures.
Barcelona are top of the La Liga table, three points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, while Real Betis are sixth, only six points behind fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao in the race for the Champions League positions.
Barcelona are a winning machine at the moment, triumphing in each of their last seven matches in all competitions, while they have taken the maximum points from their last nine league games, which has given them control of the title race.
Barcelona are fighting on three fronts heading towards the latter stages of the campaign, having booked their spot in the Copa del Rey final on Wednesday night and will tackle Real Madrid in the final of that competition at the end of April, while they will host Borussia Dortmund next week for the first leg of their quarter-final in the Champions League.
A spectacular treble cannot be ruled out considering Barcelona’s incredible firepower, and they have now found the back of the net on 82 occasions in 29 league matches this season, which is 20 more than the reigning champions Real Madrid.
