This could be an interesting match as Real Betis have their presumed home advantage while Barcelona are ahead 18 points in the La Liga table.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Del Rey. That game was also an away game, at Athletic Club. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Barcelona have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
