Betis should not be underestimated after all Barcelona is seriously having issues with scoring more than one goal lately. In as much has Xavi and his teams are favourite to win on paper. Xavi will have to do more to score more goals in todays match because Betis has high chances of scoring as well and if Barcelona plays their usual one goal game they might end in a draw or lose game.

Betis are eager to enter the top four and they will want to play their best in todays match to get points that will keep shifting them until they occupy.

Don't underestimate Real Betis too much, I think it will definitely be fatal. So far Real Betis have played 8 home matches (W5, D2, L1), and I can say that Real Betis are also a strong team at home this season. Real Betis have only conceded 5 goals at home in their last 8 matches and this is proof that their defense is solid enough to withstand the onslaught of enemy attacks.

But when Betis' statistics are compared to Barcelona, ​​Barcelona is still superior. Barcelona have conceded only 6 goals from the total games they have played, their defense is very strong and they are the only team to have conceded the lowest number of goals in all the top leagues in Europe. I'm expecting 1 point for the home team, meaning draw looks likely should Real Betis not win it.

Yes, that's a possibility. Both Barcelona and Real Betis will definitely come into the match with different objectives, This match promises to be an exciting showdown, with both teams bringing their own strengths to the table. Juanmi will be a player to watch for Real Betis, as he has a strong track record against Barcelona and has the potential to cause some upsets. On the other side, Robert Lewandowski's return for Barcelona will be a boost for the Catalan side, especially given his recent scoring form. With Betis being known for their solid defense, especially in the first half, this game will definitely be a test for both teams. Keep an eye out for the battle between Betis' defense and Barcelona's offense, as it could make for an intriguing match.

I think it's not only having to beat Real Betis, but staying consistent and always winning will allow Barcelona to get funding from investors or other development funds. Even so, Barcelona must secure the La Liga title this season so that the above can be achieved.

Barcelona and the team plus coach seem to be at peace with a small win. Why not? I always think that 1-0 results are extremely dangerous, but if your defense is behind well and you don't give away big chances, it could be a pretty good game plan. We won't see the Barcelona of the past in the attack, but is that necessary? In recent years it was actually mediocre how Barcelona played and the results were not great either. This year they have shown some nice football at times. Real Madrid is no longer the favourite. Where Barcelona does manage to win the matches, Real Madrid has been losing points for a few weeks in a row now. As a result, the gap with Barcelona has already become 5 points.

Looking at some of the statistics of the matches that Barcelona played I also think it will only be a minimum of goals but apart from that Barcelona are clearly in good shape and I think it will be 3 points for them as well.
Betis are currently not doing too well and they will likely adopt a defensive strategy to contain Barcelona's game and expect a draw in this game.

After everything that has happened for Barcelona with Xavi so far, I think Xavi has managed to improve Barcelona's image again. Also about the winning record with Betis, I also think Barcelona is doing well so far so there are no problems for this match.
Because even though Barcelona are playing away, the reality is that Betis' situation and condition are not completely good so that Barcelona will still have a big chance to win.

But I don't think this match will be raining goals considering that Barcelona in the last 3 matches in La Liga could only win with a narrow score. there is a possibility that this match will also end in a narrow score.

But on paper I believe Xavi squad can win this match because Barcelona are in a pretty good situation against real Betis. but barcelona was not strengthened by Dembele in this match, but lewandowski seems to be returning after being absent due to injury. I think he will be able to score goals in this match.

Based on the La Liga statistics, Barcelona should win this game without question. But bookmakers apparently think otherwise and give quite generous quotes for the victory of Barcelona:

4.80 - 3.80 - 1.76

Maybe they take into account the fact that even though Barcelona won the last games, they did it with great difficulty.

Barcelona need points, and so do Betis too. Barcelona need the points so they can go 8 points ahead of Real Madrid before they play Valencia tomorrow, if they are 8 points ahead before Real Madrid plays, it will make Madrid a little bit scared during their game, and they can drop some points because of that. Real Betis need points because they are challenging to qualify for the champions league, they have 31 points now in 6th position, while 4th position Athletico Madrid have 34 points, so they are very close and a win will take them higher. Barcelona are a better team though, and most fans expect a victory for them.

I'm not considering the worst consequences of this match for Barcelona, ​​that's because they are in good form so far.
Xavi and all the players have good confidence to win this match at the Benito Villamarín Stadium. You're guessing right, Barcelona will have to try hard to win, but now that Lewandowski has had his chance again I think he can help to win it.

On the Barcelona side, Ousmane Dembele has been confirmed out of action due to muscle injury. I think this is disadvantage especially after all season Ousmane Dembele has proved his quality. Ferran Torres or Ansu Fati might get their chance, and it should be. Last season Real Betis and Barcelona lost at home while they won away match. I think this is difficult match for both of them, especially after Real Betis had made me doubt about Barcelona's qualification for the Spanish Super Cup final some time ago.

Usually when Betis play Barcelona a lot of goals are scored... I'm sure both teams will score bet should work... Betis have not won a single home game in their last five... I don't think that's going to happen tonight either... Barcelona should win this game... Barcelona are in great form at the moment and need points...

I can still clearly recall how they played Barca the previous time they played; Barca actually had more ball control than Betis and from their pass accuracy they were having a battle with Barcelona; this shows how excellent they are, and I think Barca is prepared since their goal is to win the championship. so let us wait and see what the outcome of the game.

Real Betis shouldn't be a difficult opponent for Barcelona and Xavi has a goal to improve the image of Barcelona which has recently become bad. If Barcelona succeeds, it will make Xavi's name shine again and of course trigger investors to provide additional funds for Barcelona's development.

Betis indeed love to make difficulties for Barcelona especially in home games. In their latest game in the Super Cup, Lewandowski was also able to play and he scored also. But still Betis resisted Barcelona really well until the end of the penalty shoot-outs. Here in this game, Lewandowski will be able to play again as he has completed his time of suspension. Barcelona really need his scoring skills to get more advantageous here in this tough game.

Betis would like to try the same strategies against them. Because it worked really well in 90 minutes and that's all they need in the La Liga. Barcelona shouldn't be incapable of finishing their dangerous attacks with goals otherwise a really problematic game might be waiting for them.

Real Betis might be difficult for Barca to play but at the end Barca will win the match. Lewandoski will be playing the match and I don't see who will be able to stop him if he has a chance to net the post. Barca are in a good form and will learn from the last match that they played with Real Betis not to underestimate them. This will make them add more effort  in other for them to win the match. Dembele absence might be a challenge but Barca will try to cover up the vacuum. Real Betis is always giving Barca tough time and will think this match very serious.

It looks like that, but who knows Real Betis will give Barcelona an unexpected surprise in this match. Looking at the meeting record of the two clubs, Barcelona has dominated the victory every time they met. In this match, Xavi Hernandez's squad will definitely target 3 points in order to maintain the point difference they have created with Real Madrid. On the other hand, for Real Betis, victory is important in order to maintain their position in the standings and even to be in a better position. Real Betis will try to grab at least one point, if they can't get the full points.

Yes, I can't deny it, I don't know why Ancelotti hasn't chosen to correct such a thing, however, luck is always with Real Madrid, but the change of strategy is not so easy, you have to see that this strategy worked for them last season The League, aside from that, they also won the UCL, this is something that Ancelotti saw and applied, but seeing all the things that the players of this team can achieve is something that they should not do much, a luxury how to play in the end like never before is something that It seems very reckless to me, I hope they change that strategy a bit, I am one of the people who believes that Real Madrid needs just that arrangement.



Well, Gattuso's era when he was a soccer player was splendid, only now in this new stage as technical director it's not so easy, things get complicated, you have to have a much broader vision of soccer, you have to take into account Mind how each player plays, what his style is and how he can direct them in the best way to give him good results, I hope he doesn't retire and he has learned a lot more, it's difficult, when you have teams like these and you're starting to own the teams only think about good results, sometimes luck is not on their side or things just don't turn out the way they want, I wouldn't doubt Gattuso for a single minute as a coach, it's just that he has to keep trying and be more successful.

Much encouragement to our Italian friend, he is a crack, it is a new beginning, and as I said before, every beginning is very hard.

On paper, Barcelona is the superior team in this match, especially now that Barcelona is in its best performance. Barcelona which is trying to keep its distance from Real Madrid, will play its maximum to bring home three points at home to Real Betis.
This match will be a little easier for Barcelona because Real Betis is not at its best, it was recorded that in its last five matches Real Betis was only able to win twice, lose two and draw one. Meanwhile, Barcelona are unbeaten in their last nine matches, Xavi Hernandez's team were able to win eight wins and only draw once. My prediction is that this match will end in a 3-1 win for Barcelona.
