Barcelona vs Betis – La Liga Betting Tips

Barcelona welcomes Real Betis to Camp Nou in their bid to continue their upward trajectory after an abysmal start of the season. Barcelona has been slowly improving on their form in all competitions as they are now 5 games unbeaten in all competitions.

For the first time this season, they won their first back-to-back matches after employing the services of Xavi as the new coach.  

Real Betis is sitting in the 5th place ahead of Barcelona at the 7th place with 4 point difference. They have been on fine form compared to their previous recent seasons. It is also worth knowing that that they are 3rd highest goal scorers in La Liga this season. 

Will Barcelona continue in their winning run under Xavi, or will Real Betis hurt them? Here are our tips for this match. 

Barcelona Form and Team News

Barcelona had a bad start of the season under former manager Koeman but are experiencing a different result in the early days of new manager Xavi. They are unbeaten in their last 5 matches in all competitions and won 2 games straight in la Liga for the first time this season. 

For the team news, Aguero S (Heart Problems), Braithwaite M (Knee Injury), Fati A (Muscle Injury), Pedri (Knee Injury), Roberto S (Muscle Injury), and Wague M (Tendon Injury). 

Betis Form and Team News

Real Betis is currently on good form in La Liga, scoring 25 goals and conceding only 18. They are now sitting 5th at La Liga, winning 8 of their last 13 games.  Although they have lost 2 and won 3 in their last 5 La Liga games, it is safe to say that they are the team to beat and not pushovers. 

For the team news, Bravo C (Muscle Injury), Camarasa V (Muscle Injury), Montoya M (Ankle Injury), Pezzella G (Muscle Injury), and Sabaly Y are all out or doubt for this fixture.

Our Tipsters Angle

This match is another test of Xavi’s Barca and how resilient Barcelona can be in this match. Barca is receiving a boost as one of their top stars (Dembele) is gradually returning to fitness and turning things around.  

Real Betis haven’t been shy at goal and would want to take this match to Barcelona and win it. However, in their last 5 games, Barcelona has managed to win all, and we might see a repeat today. Below we provide our thoughts/predictions on this match.

Tip 1: Over 2.5 Goals  

If there is anything like certainty in sports betting, we would say it’s almost certain that this match would have many goals. The last 5 games between these two teams have seen 3+ goals scored, and even though that was during Barca’s Messi era, much hasn’t changed on the Real Betis side.   

We expect this match to have a repeat because both teams have a porous defense but motivated attack. At the Casumo Sportsbook, Over 2.5 goals is available at odds of 1.49.

Tip 2: Both Teams to Score 

Just like our over 2.5 tips, we expect both teams to find the net in this clash. Even though Barcelona has been improving lately, their defense doesn’t exhibit confidence, which can also be seen in their match against Villarreal. Real Betis should find it hard to contain Dembele and Depay, who are Barca’s deadliest attacking options. 

Also, both teams have managed to find the net in their last 5 matches in all competitions, and we should have a similar outcome here. At Casumo sportsbook, Both Teams to Score is placed at 1.58 odds, and we think it is a good value for this match. 

Conclusion

This match is crucial to Xavi’s team trajectory into the top half of the table, and we don’t expect Barcelona to find it easy. In our opinion, this match looks like who will outscore each other, and that has impacted our tips for this match.

Real Betis have been good in front of goal, but we expect Barcelona to put up an excellent fight to likely win the match. Whichever outcome happens in this match, we think it is going to be an exciting match.

This match is undoubtedly a cracker. West Ham looks like they aim to pull off another Leicester City EPL title-winning miracle. Still, unfortunately, Chelsea seems to have seriously set their eyes on the EPL trophy too, and this clash of heavyweights will be interesting to see how it ends.
