Barcelona arrives at La Cartuja with the ambition of continuing its undefeated streak in the League and establishing a new record for consecutive victories. HansiFlick's team, who have won all eight of their league games this season, face Real Betis, who are currently third in the table after a 5‑2 victory over Osasuna and a European comeback against Porto. The visit takes place on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on DAZN and MovistarPlus.
Barça's record against Betis is overwhelming. In the last 30 games in the league, cup and super cup, the Catalan club has won 23 times, drawn five and lost only two. Barça's last defeat in Seville was in the 2011 Copa del Rey, when Betis won 3-1 in the quarter-final second leg, although the 5-0 win in the first leg ensured qualification. In the league, Barça's last setback in green and white territory was in 2008, when Betis won 3-2 under the direction of FrankRijkaard. With these data, ManuelPellegrini's team appears as the favorite, with a record of 25 wins, five draws and two losses in previous matches.
Barça's offensive performance against Betis is also impressive. In the last eleven games, the Blaugranas have scored 34 goals and have only conceded 13, which demonstrates the scoring capacity of the matches between both teams. In addition, the young winger LamineYamal, who debuted with the first team in April 2023, has a special significance in this duel, since his first appearance was against Betis at the CampNou.
Betis, for its part, arrives at La Cartuja with the intention of breaking a long streak without wins at home against Barça. The team, which has remained competitive in the league and in European competitions, will have the support of its fans to try to change the history of matches in its stadium. The result of this match will decide whether Barcelona achieves its ninth league victory and whether Betis can reverse its performance at home against the Catalans.
