Command Analysis
Real Betis
SpainCurrent form
Betis' recent slump continued when they lost 2-0 to Real Sociedad last weekend, leaving them without a win in four straight La Liga matches. That includes consecutive defeats, each by two goals. Manager Manuel Pellegrini is looking to revive the campaign and fight his way up the table as their run of four consecutive top seven finishes in the league is in danger of ending.
The hosts are likely to take advantage of their home stadium as the Benito Villamarin has been almost a fortress for them this season, winning four of their last six league games, but extending that run against Barcelona will be a challenge. It is worth noting that https://www.realbetisbalompie.es target=_blank rel=noopener>Betis have lost more games against the Catalan giants (85) than against any other team in their history.
Disqualifications and injuries
Carvalho (muscle injury), Joni Cardroso (muscle injury), Isco (leg injury) and Bellerin (bruise) will be out.
Interesting trends for betting
- Betis have not scored a first-half goal in their last six head-to-head league matches.

1.88Tip and bets
Both teams are showing confident play in attack, and given the current form, it is likely that both will score in this meeting. Betis is traditionally stronger at home, and despite injuries, the team has enough attacking players to threaten Barcelona defense. The Catalans, in turn, have not played without a goal for a long time, and despite injuries to key players, their attacking power remains at its best.
Prediction: Both teams to score with odds of 1.90
Prediction of the outcome
The match between Betis and Barcelona could end in a draw, as both clubs have strong sides, but also have their vulnerabilities. It is important to note that Betis will be playing at home, where their support is always important, and they are capable of making the visitors nervous. Barcelona, despite their strength, have injured players, and there may be problems in attack and defense, which will make a draw a likely outcome.
Prediction - draw with odds of 4.50
Bet on corners
This match is expected to feature a lot of attacking play and therefore a high number of corners is possible. Betis will be active on the flanks and Barcelona will be looking to control the ball, which will lead to a lot of set pieces. We believe this match could end with more than nine corners, given the attacking tendencies of both teams.
Forecast - total corners over nine with odds of 1.90
