Sports Mole looks at how Real Betis could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Barcelona, including a decision on Vitor Roque.

Vitor Roque is set to lead the Real Betis line on Saturday afternoon, with the Brazilian preparing to take on parent club Barcelona.

The 19-year-old joined Real Betis on loan from Barcelona over the summer, and he has scored five times in 18 appearances for Manuel Pellegrini's side, including three in 12 La Liga outings.

Roque is eligible to face his parent club this weekend and will be in the XI bar any late fitness setbacks, while there should also be a return for Pablo Fornals, who is being backed to recover from a muscular problem in time for the contest.

Johnny Cardoso, Nobel Mendy, Hector Bellerin, Marc Roca, William Carvalho and Isco are on the sidelines through injury, but Abde Ezzalzouli is available, and the attacker is set to face the club that he represented between 2021 and 2023.

Giovani Lo Celso has been in strong form for the Green and Whites this season, scoring six times in 11 appearances, and the 28-year-old is set to operate as the number 10 for the home team.

Ezzalzouli and Roque have 10 goals between them, while Marc Bartra - another former Barcelona player - has scored three times from the back, and the 33-year-old is also set to be in the XI for this match.

Real Betis possible starting lineup: Silva; Sabaly, Bartra, Llorente, Perraud; Guirao, Altimira; Fornals, Lo Celso, Ezzalzouli; Roque
