FC Barcelona faces Betis Sevilla as part of the 5th day of La Liga. Currently 4th in the championship with 10 points, the Catalans must win this evening in front of their home crowd so as not to start falling too far behind Real Madrid. Opposite, Real Betis are 8th and remain on a 1-0 success on the last day against Rayo Vallecano, achieving a second consecutive victory would be a great achievement for the Andalusians. This meeting can be followed live with commentary on the French Football Weekly website.
In terms of team compositions, Xavi does not change his traditional 4-3-3. The Barça coach lines up Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix from the start, which is a first for both players. This allows Gavi to find a place in midfield, Romeu starts as sentry just like Koundé in central defense. We also start in 4-3-3 for the visitors. It is an almost typical team that is put in place, the very fit Isco will take place in particular on the right side of the attack.
