How Barcelona could line up against Real Betis

Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Sunday night's La Liga clash with Real Betis.

Barcelona's pursuit of La Liga leaders Real Madrid will continue on Sunday night when they travel to the Estadio Benito Villamarin to take on Real Betis.

The Spanish champions are currently three points behind Los Blancos in the table, although the gap could be six by the time that they take to the field for this contest.

Quique Setien's side will also enter the match off the back of a disappointing result, having suffered a 1-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey on Thursday night.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the Catalan giants could line up this weekend.


Out: Ousmane Dembele (hamstring), Luis Suarez (knee), Gerard Pique (suspension)

Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez remain long-term absentees for Barca, who will also be without the services of key central defender Gerard Pique through suspension.

Pique's absence is expected to see Samuel Umtiti and Clement Lenglet start at the heart of the defence, while Nelson Semedo could be given the nod over Sergi Roberto at right-back.

Antoine Griezmann was named on the bench against Bilbao but should return to the XI here, while Arturo Vidal is also expected to earn a starting role in midfield.

A lack of options in the final third means that Ansu Fati should be handed another starting role, with Lionel Messi potentially playing to the right of Griezmann rather than through the middle.

Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong are both expected to feature in midfield, meanwhile, meaning that Ivan Rakitic might have to accept a spot on the bench.
