Barcelona will welcome Real Betis at the Nou Camp this weekend as they try to secure maximum points in front of their home fans. The Catalan club earned a narrow 2-1 away at Osasuna before the international break which will keep them in high spirits ahead of this game.
Xavi will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation once again and could make a couple of changes to his first XI for this game. Both Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix will get an opportunity to play from the start of this clash at the Nou Camp.
4-3-3 Barcelona Predicted Lineup To Face Real Betis
Defence
Marc-André ter Stegen will feature in goal for Barca after conceding one goal in his last La Liga appearance. Jules Kounde will try to impress alongside Andreas Christensen at the centre of Xavi’s defence as they look to keep the Real Betis attackers quiet during the game.
Joao Cancelo will hope to catch the eye as the right back while Alejandro Balde fills in on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to get forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Marcos Alonso will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Frenkie de Jong, Oriol Romeu and Gavi will operate as Barca’s central midfielders as they focus on dominating possession and creating enough chances to win this home game.
Marc Casado will be available for selection on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Joao Felix will try to catch the eye as the left-winger while Lamine Yamal hopes to prove his worth from the right. Both of them need to stretch the pitch well and try to get in behind the Real Betis backline at every chance they get.
Robert Lewandowski will spearhead Xavi’s attack up top. He would be eager to make a difference for the Catalan club in the final third.
Raphinha and Ferran Torres will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if Barcelona are in need of a goal by then.
