Barcelona travel to Real Betis this weekend and the Catalan giants will be hoping to maintain their lead at the top of the table with a win away from home.

Barcelona are level on points with Atletico Madrid and are just one point ahead of Real Madrid in the La Liga title race and cannot afford to drop points at this stage of the season.

Real Betis have won their last two home games by 1-0 scoreline and will fancy their chances against Barcelona. The Spanish champions were going through a slump earlier this month, but they have recovered after thrashing Deportivo and Gijon 8-0 and 6-0 respectively in their last two matches.

Containing the best attack in the League will be a huge challenge for Betis. But they will need to rely on their defence to win this game, especially because of their goalscoring problems. The hosts have failed to score more than one goal per game in their last five La Liga outings.
