The FC Barcelona receives this Saturday to the Real Betis in the Camp Nou to play the sixteenth day of LaLiga. The Barcelona play against which right now is a direct rival by the Champions League and have an opportunity of gold to go in in European places. In these moments, the culés are seventh with 23 points, 4 less than the béticos, that have 27 and are fifth with a meeting more.

Win to the ones of Manuel Pellegrino would be a step at the front in the aspirations of the barcelonistas, that would plant with 26 points, very near of the League of Champions. Nevertheless, the duel against the Andalusians will not be at all easy and the Catalans will have to give his best version. The sevillanos are doing a big campaign and the Barça will have to be, like minimum, to the height of what did in Villarreal does a week.

This party is the anteroom of the 'final' of Champions League that the Barcelona has against the Bayern of Munich the Wednesday in the Baviera. Thus, Xavi Hernández has not doubted in leaving to several 'heavy weights' in the bench. Frenkie Of Jong and Gerard Hammered remain in the bench, the same that an Ousmane Dembélé that it will have to expect to go back to be headline.

The XI of FC Barcelona and Betis:

  • XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Dest, Araújo, Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Gavi, Busquets, Nico; Coutinho, Memphis Depay and Abde.
  • Bench of the FC Barcelona: Net, Riqui Puig, Umtiti, Hammered, Balde, Eric, Dembélé, Arnau Tenas, Luuk of Jong and Mingueza.
  • XI of the Betis: Rui Silva; Bellerín, Bartra, Víctor Ruiz, Álex Moreno; Guido, Saved; Channels, Ruibal, Juanmi and Willian José.

In addition to the suplencias of the Dutch, of the French and of the Catalan, the trainer barcelonista also has left in the bank to Eric García to plant in his place to Clément Lenglet. It fits to highlight that Abde repeats in the alignment after the big feelings that left in Villarreal, and that Philippe Coutinho also goes out of start. Another change with regard to the last two meetings is the system, that this Saturday goes back to the classical 4-3-3 in place of the 3-4-3 of the last two dates.
