Barcelona square up against Real Betis in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup for a place in the final against Real Madrid.
Barcelona come into this game on the back of a feisty league game against Atletico Madrid, that they won 1-0. Xavi's side has played some high intensity games in their last few games with Osasuna, Espanyol, Inter City FC and Atletico Madrid, receiving a red in three of their last 4 games. Barcelona have eight of their last 10 games against Betis and will be hoping to continue that run.
Real Betis come into this fixture on the back of a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano in La Liga. Their qualification for the tournament was sealed with a Copa del Rey win over Valencia last year. Betis will be without Alex Moreno who has joined Aston Villa recently.
