The 2022-23 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Barcelona lock horns with an impressive Real Betis side in a crucial clash at the Camp Nou on Saturday.
Barcelona vs Real Betis Preview
Real Betis are currently in sixth place in the La Liga standings and have been inconsistent in recent weeks. The Andalusian outfit played out a 0-0 stalemate against Real Sociedad this week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form on the domestic front this season. The Catalan giants slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Rayo Vallecano in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Barcelona have an impressive squad at their disposal and will need to bounce back to maintain their lead at the top of the table. Robert Lewandowski found the back of the net this week and will look to add to his goal tally in this fixture.
