Currently, the Catalan club sits at the top of the La Liga standings, having secured 24 points from their first eight matches. In contrast, Real Betis occupies the third position, trailing Hansi Flick's side by five points.
While Barcelona's recent form makes them the favorites, Real Betis has earned considerable respect for their own strong start, emerging as one of the more formidable teams in European football.
The Seville club comes into this match following a 3-2 victory against Porto in the Champions League, along with a 5-2 win over Osasuna in their last La Liga outing.
In their last six matches across all competitions, Real Betis has achieved five wins and one draw, with their sole defeat occurring against Levante in La Liga at the end of August.
This season, El Glorioso has recorded six victories, one draw, and one loss in their eight league games, placing them third in the standings with 19 points, five points behind the exceptional Barcelona.
Last season, Real Betis faced Barcelona twice in La Liga, suffering defeats on both occasions, including a 5-3 loss in the corresponding fixture in Seville in December 2025.
Interestingly, Barcelona's last two losses to Real Betis were at home, and they have remained unbeaten away to the Seville club since January 2011.
Flick's team arrives at this match after a commanding 4-1 win against Galatasaray in the Champions League, marking their tenth consecutive victory in all competitions this season.
