📰 Team News: Barcelona

Ronald Araújo (Muscle Injury) and Pedri (Hamstring Injury) are not available for Barcelona gaffer Xavi Hernández.

It seems likely that Barça may well kick off with a 4-3-3 formation for this game, beginning the first half with M. ter Stegen, Joao Cancelo, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Alex Balde, Frenkie de Jong, Oriol Romeu, Gavi, Joao Felix, Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.

🗞️ Team News: Real Betis

In an otherwise available squad, there’s only the lone fitness worry for the Real Betis gaffer Manuel Pellegrini to be concerned with. Nabil Fekir (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Béticos seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Rui Silva, Hector Bellerin, Marc Bartra, Chadi Riad, Juan Miranda, Sergi Altimira, Marc Roca, Luiz Henrique, Isco, Ayoze Perez and Willian Jose.
