The 2024-25 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Real Betis lock horns with Hansi Flick's Barcelona side in an important encounter at the Montjuic on Saturday. Both teams have stepped up to the plate this season and will want to win this game.
Barcelona vs Real Betis Preview
Real Betis are in sixth place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive this season. The Andalusian outfit edged local rivals Sevilla to a narrow 2-1 victory in the Seville Derby last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table and have been in excellent form this year. The Blaugrana edged Atletico Madrid to a crucial 1-0 victory in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.

Barcelona vs Real Betis Prediction
Barcelona have thrived under Hansi Flick and will look to make the most of their purple patch. Lamine Yamal was virtually unplayable against Atletico Madrid and will look to find the back of the net this weekend.
Real Betis can pull off an upset on their day and have troubled Barcelona on a few occasions in the past. Barcelona are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
