FC Barcelona v Real Betis Sevilla - Spanish Copa del Rey - Source: Getty — Barcelona take on Real Betis this weekend

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.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
