Lowly squad Real Betis (10-14-11, 41 points) is scheduled to square off with defending champions FC Barcelona (26-5-4, 82 points) at the Estadio Benito Villamarín this Saturday, April 30th as the 2015-2016 La Liga season slowly comes down to a close.
With three matches left in their season, the Béticos are currently continuing their fight off the bottom three relegation zone. Right now, the team is at the 13th spot of the league table, nine points above the danger area and there is a big possibility that they will stay in Spain's first division association football competitions if they are successful in their last few fixtures.
Real Betis has been winless in four of their last six outings, though, and is coming off a 0-2 defeat in the hands of Sevilla FC on the road at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium last Sunday, as per ESPN.
Sevilla's French forward Kevin Gameiro and vice-captain Coke scored the two goals for the hosts as head coach Juan Merino's could not respond with anything for the whole duration of the match.
Meanwhile, Barcelona remains on top of the league table even as they are currently tied on points with second-placed team Atletico Madrid by virtue of a superior goal differential and advantage in their head-to-head matches during the season.
Barça won both of their meetings with Atleti this season, 2-1, and so they have the upperhand if the two teams should finish the year with identical records.
The Blaugrana's last match was a 6-0 demolition of a 10-man Sporting Gijon side at the Camp Nou also last Saturday, as reported by SkySports.
Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez netted four goals for the second consecutive game, at the 63rd, 74th, 77th, and 88th minutes respectively, to lead Luis Enrique's men to victory. Lionel Messi scored one at the 12th minutes while Neymar had another at the 85th to complete their six-goal haul in the contest.
It was the second straight win for the defending champions after previously going on a rare three-game losing streak.
The predicted result is a 4-0 blowout for Barcelona.
Real Betis starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Adan; Gonzalez, Pezzella, Westermann, Montoya; N'Diaye, dos Santos; Musonda, Joaquin, Ceballos; Castro
Barcelona starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Bravo, Roberto, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suárez, Neymar
