Barcelona vs Real Betis Prediction

Barcelona Form

Barcelona hope to get back to winning ways after first beating Osasuna by 1-2, before winning 2-0 against Real Madrid. The streak ended in a recent 1-0 defeat against Deportivo Alaves. Barcelona have been nothing short of fabulous at their home ground in the six most recent LaLiga matches here. They quite simply claimed a maximum 18 points, scoring 17 while conceding four goals. Naturally, this is the best points total in the LaLiga across the last six games.

Most people had Barcelona down among favourites for relegation, but they have surpassed all expectations. With the season coming to an end, they look destined for another season in the LaLiga.

Real Betis Form

Real Betis are unbeaten in their last three matches, first beating Real Oviedo by 3-0. This was followed by a 2-2 with Real Sociedad and a 2-1 win against Elche. Real Betis won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the LaLiga. The scoreline from these matches says ten goals conceded and nine scored.

Most observers thought Real Betis were doomed this season, but they have done very well for themselves and now look into another season in the LaLiga.

While we don't believe Real Betis are strong enough to prevent Barcelona from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.
