FC Barcelona vs Real Betis: Probable lineups for the match - LaLiga 2024-25

FC Barcelona and Betis will face each other this Saturday, April 5th 2025 in the 30th matchday of LaLiga EA Sports 2024-2025. The azulgrana team arrives in great form for the clash against the 'verdiblancos', with nine consecutive victories in the tournament and three points ahead of Real Madrid at the top of the table. With nine matchdays remaining, Barça is firmly advancing towards the title and has already secured its place in the final of the Copa del Rey, where the white team also awaits them. Betis, for its part, also arrives with very positive feelings, after achieving six consecutive victories.

Next, we review the possible starting lineup, the substitutes' bench, and the injured and suspended players of Hansi Flick's Barcelona.

Possible lineup of FC Barcelona against Betis

• Starting XI: (25, P) Szczesny; (23) Koundé, (4) Ronald Araujo, (5) Iñigo Martínez, (3) Gerard Martín; (21) Eric García, (6) Gavi, (8) Pedri; (19) Lamine Yamal, (11) Raphinha, (9) Lewandowski.
• Bench: (13, P) Iñaki Peña; (2) Pau Cubarsí; (7) Ferran Torres; (10) Ansu Fati; (14) Pablo Torre; (16) Fermín López; (18) Pau Víctor; (21) Frenkie de Jong;  (31, P) Kochen; (32) Héctor Fort.
• Injured: (1) Ter Stegen; (28) Marc Bernal; (17) Marc Casadó; (20) Dani Olmo.
• Suspended: None.

Once again, Dani Olmo will be absent due to injury, which means Hansi Flick will have to adjust his midfield in the starting XI. Frenkie de Jong is expected to rest with an eye on the visit to Borussia Dortmund for the Champions League, while Raphinha should return to the lineup after missing the matches against Osasuna and Girona. Another player likely to return is Gavi, who was absent on Wednesday against Atlético due to a muscle injury.

Initially, the Andalusian would be alongside Eric García and Pedri in midfield, with Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski supporting Raphinha in attack. The rest of the eleven would consist of the other 'untouchables' of the German coach, except for Alejandro Balde, who has also shown some signs of fatigue. In addition to Olmo, Ter Stegen, Marc Casadó, and Marc Bernal are also out due to injury.
