It's part of the punishment for Betis following crowd violence at their ground
The Betis - Barcelona game will finally be played this Saturday in the Vicente Calderón stadium in Madrid. It’s punishment for Betis after a member of the crowd at their ground, the Ruiz Pizjuan, threw a bottle which injured the eye of the Athletico goalkeeper, Armando, at their last home game.

The Spanish Football Federation Appeals Committee has therefore rejected the appeal placed by Betis and has confirmed that their stadium will be closed for two games as part of the punishment.

Earlier reports that the match would be played at the La Cartuja stadium in Sevilla have proved to be inaccurate.
