Barcelona have been on an absolutely titanic tear through La Liga this season, already starting to threaten to run away with the league title and win it very early in the season. Now with a chance to pull even further away from the pack thanks to their two closest rivals in the standings dropping points earlier in the weekend, Barcelona will be out flying to prove their dominance with a win over Real Betis.

The Blaugranes did suffer a minor setback at midweek in the form of a loss in the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarterfinal tie, but it was such a narrow, fluke thing at the end of that match that they’re not going to lose their heads over it. If anything, they’re going to be more focused and look to take out any lingering frustration on Betis while potentially extending their lead in La Liga to eleven points over the next closest team.
Betis have actually been in good form of late, winning three of their last four league matches, including a thriller of a 5-3 win over local rivals and sixth-place La Liga side Sevilla. But that good form pales in comparison to the roll Barcelona are on, and the quality they bring. They’re not going to give up — far from it, Betis have shown all season that they’ll fight to the end no matter what — but this is going to be an uphill fight for them from the first whistle.
