The back-to-back champions of La Liga return to action this weekend as Barcelona look to make history as the first club in a 20-team Spanish top-flight season to have a perfect home record when they welcome Real Betis to Camp Nou.
Hereâs how we think Hansi Flick will line up his troops for Sundayâs battle:
This will be the farewell game to Camp Nou this season and the team will be motivated to make history, so expect a very strong lineup from Flick in this one.
In fact, we are expecting the exact same team that started El ClĂĄsico but with just one change. That change wonât be at the back, however, as we think Eric Garcia, Pau CubarsĂ, Gerard MartĂn and JoĂŁo Cancelo will form the same back four that started last week.
Barcelona aims to achieve a perfect home record in La Liga by winning against Real Betis.
Hansi Flick is the coach of Barcelona for the upcoming match against Real Betis.
The match will take place at Camp Nou, Barcelona's home stadium.

Flick left Frenkie de Jong and FermĂn LĂłpez off the squad for the trip to AlavĂ©s in midweek and it seems as though De Jong will be handled very carefully as he builds up his fitness for the World Cup, so we think the Dutchman will start this one on the bench and Gavi and Pedri will reunite in the double pivot after being rested against AlavĂ©s, with Dani Olmo likely keeping his spot in the number 10 position.
Raphinha missed the midweek trip to AlavĂ©s through suspension and is also being carefully managed with the World Cup in mind, so we think the Brazilian will begin this one on the bench with FermĂn taking his spot on the left wing and Marcus Rashford moving back to the right side. Robert Lewandowski is expected to play his last home game for Barça on Sunday, so we think heâll start this one ahead of Ferran Torres up front.
Possible XI: Joan; Eric, CubarsĂ, MartĂn, Cancelo; Gavi, Pedri; Rashford, Olmo, FermĂn; Lewandowski (4-2-3-1)
