Barcelona host Real Betis on Sunday evening, with both teams having already achieved their main domestic objectives. Hansi Flick's men were crowned champions last weekend, while Pellegrini's men are guaranteed to finish fifth and therefore qualify for next season's Champions League.

A relaxed atmosphere is expected at the Nou Camp, as Barça and Betis have the capacity to wind down their efforts in the closing stages of the campaign.

Nevertheless, the Blaugrana will want to put on a good show in their home league match of the season, which could mark Robert Lewandowski's final appearance for the club at the Camp Nou. Here are our predictions ahead of Sunday's contest.

Barcelona v Real Betis – Predictions 

Both teams to score (BTTS - Yes): 8/15 (bet365)

Barcelona to win and Barcelona 2-5 Goals Range: 1/2 (bet365)

Ferran Torres to score or assist: 1/2 (bet365)

Goals at both ends

This fixture sees two of the league's top five scorers go head-to-head. Barcelona have scored in every league match this term, while also conceding just a few goals at home.

Betis have found the net in each of their last five away fixtures, which has contributed to them scoring more times on the road (24 goals in 18 outings) than most teams in the division. Furthermore, both teams have scored in each of their most recent five meetings.

Prediction: Both teams to score (BTTS - Yes): 8/15 (bet365)

Explanation: This bet will land if both teams score, regardless of the final result. 

This bet wins if both teams score at least one goal

Barça expected to deliver a high-scoring victory 

As there is nothing at stake here for either side, we expect an open game with plenty of attacking impetus. The Catalans have remarkably won all 18 of their home league matches so far this term, putting them on the cusp of breaking a 40-year-old record.

Real Madrid beat every opponent that visited the Bernabéu during the 1985/86 campaign - can Sunday's hosts replicate this incredible feat?

Barça have also regularly scored between two and five goals on home soil, only landing outside this range in the 6-0 thumping of Valencia and recent narrow triumphs over Rayo Vallecano and Celta Vigo.

They have also scored more than one but fewer than six goals in seven of their last eight meetings with Real Betis. 

Barcelona to win and Barcelona 2-5 Goals Range: 1/2 (bet365)

Explanation: This bet lands if Barcelona win and score either two, three, four, or five goals. 

Torres to make a decisive impact?

After enduring a challenging few months at the Camp Nou, Ferran Torres is currently enjoying a scintillating run of form. The versatile attacker has hit five goals in his last six appearances, including a superb strike in last Sunday's pivotal El Clásico

Furthermore, Torres has delivered at least one direct goal contribution in each of Barcelona's last six meetings with Betis, finding the net on eight occasions and recording one assist throughout this impressive sequence.   

Prediction: Ferran Torres to score or assist: 1/2 (bet365)

Explanation: This bet lands if Ferran Torres either scores or assists during the match.
