Barcelona will be aiming to make it 10 La Liga victories in a row when they continue their campaign with a home fixture against an in-form Real Betis outfit on Sunday night.
The Catalan giants were 4-1 winners over Girona in Spain’s top flight last time out, and a total of 66 points from 29 matches has left them three points clear of second-placed Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table.
Barcelona were in Copa del Rey action on Wednesday night, meanwhile, booking their spot in the final of the competition against Real Madrid courtesy of a 1-0 success over Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their quarter-final.
Real Betis are set to provide stern opposition for Barcelona, though, with Manuel Pellegrini‘s side winning each of their last six league games, which has left them in sixth spot, only six points off the Champions League positions.
Here, Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and past meetings between the two sides ahead of their contest in Spain’s top flight this weekend.
