Barcelona, troubled by off-field transfer bans, Champions League mid-week matches and La Liga title-race pressures, wanted an easy game for the weekend. And they have got one. It cannot be easier than this. Real Betis is the bottom-dweller of the Spanish Premier League, which is almost certain to be relegated.

There could be a minor twist in the potentially happy-ending tale. Betis are in the best form of the season. They have won eight of their total 22 points from the last six matches. Still, the Catalan side should stroll to a win even if they play at half their potential.

Barca must keep winning all their remaining matches to keep Real Madrid at arm’s length and to set up an exciting final day against Atletico Madrid. They have a dominating home record against Betis. In the last decade or so, Betis has managed just one win at Camp Nou.

Barca are not in the best of forms. But still, the team is doing just enough to stay alive in title race. They have scored the most number of goals in the league – and Betis are second only to Rayo Vallecano in terms of conceding goals. This match could be another facile goal-fest for Barca.

Barcelona seem to have come into terms with their first choice goalkeeper Victor Valdes. All their other stars will be raring to go against a reputably porous defence.

Betis will strive for an upset win, inspired by some terrific performances by Rubén Castro and Jorge Molina.
