Barcelona-Betis, the probable formations

Barcelona takes on Betis in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Estadio Olimpico. The Blaugrana have qualified for the round of 16 thanks to a four-goal win over Barbastro (4-0), while the green-and-whites narrowly beat Huesca (1-0).

Few doubts for Flick, who is expected to field Pena in goal, with a defensive line composed of Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi and Balde. In the midfield, space will be given to the Casado-Pedri pair, while Yamal, Olmo and Raphinha will act in the three-quarter to support Lewandowski.

Pellegrini should opt for the starting eleven, with Vieites between the posts and a four-man defense formed by Ruibal, Llorente, Bartra and Perraud. In the midfield, space is given to Altimira and Cardoso, while the trio Ruibal, Isco and Ezzalzouli will support the’only forward Roque.

Probable lineups

Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Pena; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski. Coach: Flick

Betis (4-2-3-1): Vieites; Ruibal, Llorente, Bartra, Perraud; Altimira, Cardoso; Ruibal, Isco, Ezzalzouli; Roque. Coach: Pellegrini
