Following a bad start to the campaign, Barcelona will be looking to return to the winning ways when they host Real Betis in the La Liga at Camp Nou.

Real Betis come into this match on the back of a defeat in the opening game. The Los Verdiblancos went down 1-2 at home to Real Valladolid in one of the shockers in the opening round of the 2019-20 La Liga season.

The La Liga match will be played between Barcelona and Real Betis at Camp Nou, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The ground has a capacity of 99,354.

Real Betis FC Team News:

• Borja Iglesias missed Betis’ opening game and remains a doubt ahead of this match.

Real Betis Probable XI:

Dani Martin (GK), Emerson, Mandi, Bartra, Pedraza, Carvalho, Guardado, Joaquin, Fekir, Canales, Moron

Likely to score:

• For Barcelona: Antoine Griezmann, Rafinha
• For Real Betis: Loren Moron, Nabil Fekir

Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:

Antoine Griezmann: Fired blank in the opening game. Looked a bit rusty and off the pace. But Antoine Griezmann is a proven talent, who needs no introduction. The 28-year-old will be looking to make an impression in front of the staunch home support.

Last season:

• Games: 49
• Goals: 21
• Assists: 11

Rafinha: With Barcelona’s front three missing out with injuries, the 26-year-old Rafinha has the chance to grab this opportunity. He had a good game against Athletico Bilbao after coming on a substitute for Luis Suarez.

Strength:

• Dribbling
• Passing
• Key Passing

Nabil Fekir: No disrespect to Real Betis, but football fans are still not digesting the fact that he made a move to Betis from Lyon. Not long ago, the 26-year-old was a prime target for both Arsenal and Liverpool.

He can do the damage. His left foot, not as famous as Messi’s, has the power and the precision to strike a deadly blow.

Last season:

• Games: 35
• Goals: 12
• Assists: 09

Loren Moron: Must be feeling confident after scoring in Betis’ opening game of the season. The 25-year-old is expected to start here.

Suggested combination:

BAR vs RB Dream11 potential winner:
Barcelona are favorites to win the game.
