The FC Barcelona is managing without place to doubts his elder 'pothole' since it began LaLiga and has to surpass it what before to avoid that the Real Madrid approach in the classification. To start with to do it, the Barcelona will have to surpass this Saturday in the Camp Nou to the Real Betis, a team of level that does not give the fourth place by stray and that without place to doubts will give a lot of 'war'.
It is necessary to remember that the blaugrana come to lose in Vallecas against the Ray by 2-1 in a very toneless meeting that deserved lose. Before this defeat, the Barça won to the Athletic of Madrid home, but empató the two previous days and fell in the previous in Glass in front of the Real Madrid. The series is, therefore, of an alone triumph in the last five crashes, some figures demoledoras that it is necessary to leave backwards against the Betis.
To attain go back to win, the Barcelona will have two new incorporations that will give a qualitative jump to the team. Ousmane Dembélé And Andreas Christensen have added already to Frenkie of Jong and Pedri, that went back does a week, and go back to be useful alternatives for Xavi Hernández. The Danish, in fact, is the big novelty of the Catalan picture in front of the group sevillano. This is the XI of the Barça:
Alignments of the FC Barcelona-Real Betis of LaLiga
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Koundé, Araújo, Christensen, Balde; Busquets, Frenkie of Jong, Pedri, Gavi; Raphinha and Lewandowski.
- Bench of the FC Barcelona: Ansu Fati, Iñaki Crag, Jordi Alba, Kessié, Ferran Torres, Dembélé, Eric García, M. Alonso, Pablo Tower, Arnau Tenas and Lamine Yamal.
- XI of the Real Betis: Rui Silva; Montoya, Luiz Felipe, Pezzella, Miranda; Carvalho, Guido Rodrígez, Channels; Luiz Henrique, Ayoze and Willian José.
Christensen is definitely the greater and better novelty in the team barcelonista, that recovers to his defence title. Without the Nordic, Marcos Alonso and in lower measure Eric García have alternated in the centre of the defence to accompany to Araújo, but from this moment will be the ex of Chelsea the one who do couple with the charrúa. It is an enormous news, since it was doing an extraordinary campaign and his presence will endow of greater security to the Barça.
Besides, Xavi will be able to explain after a day of absence with Sergio Busquets, that was not in Vallecas by sanction. With the one of Badia, the trainer of Terrassa recovers the system of four midfield players, being the '5' the pivote and leaving the interiors to Of Jong and to Pedri. Gavi, by his part, probably will move as 'false extreme' by the left.
By part of the Betis, the most stood out is surely the suplencia of Borja Churches. The Galician will expect in the bench and the '9' bético will be Willian José, that will have the difficult mission to battle against Araújo and Christensen. By the other, is the XI expected, with Channels in the mediapunta and Luiz Henrique in the right band like big dangers of the team of Pellegrini.
