Will Hansi Flick's team be able to extend their winning streak today? - the answer is further in our betting tip. What are the best bets for a face-to-face match between representatives of the top 3 of La Liga?
Command Analysis
Real Betis
Current form
Betis is having a successful start to the season, and is doing well both in the Primera and in the Champions League. In eight rounds played in La Liga, Betikos scored 19 points, occupy the third place and are only second in goal difference to Atletico. Manuel Pellegrini's team suffered the only defeat from Levante back in August. In the last round, Betis didn't leave a single chance for Osasuna (5-2). In the Champions League, the green and white also demonstrate a productive game and beat Lille and Porto with the same score 3:2, thereby making a significant bid to finish in the top 8.
Disqualifications and injuries
Firpo is injured, Ruibal is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last five matches with Betis, more than two goals have been scored.
Betis players have been offside less often than their opponents in the last five matches.
Barcelona currently has no equal either in the Primera or in the Champions League. The Catalans have played ten matches since the start of the season, in which they have only won. Performance at the highest level. In La Liga alone, 34 goals were scored in eight rounds. In the last round, with a score of 3:0, Hansi Flick's team defeated Getafe on their own field. In the Champions League, Barcelona scored two wins over Feyenoord at home (5-1) and Galatasaray away with a score of 4:1. We have to play now without the injured Rafinha, but the depth of the squad allows us to solve this issue without problems. So, in Turkey, all four goals were scored by different players. Rafinha has already trained in the general group and will probably appear on the field today.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bardagji and Christensen will not play due to injuries. Rafinha and de Jong are in question.
Interesting betting trends
Barcelona have scored at least three goals in their last eight matches.
Referees have not shown more than three yellow cards in five of Barcelona's last eight matches.
Betis is confidently holding the start of the season, going on a seven-match winless streak. However, it is unlikely that this will help you score at least one point today. The hosts have a difficult battle with Porto in the Champions League behind them, and now the match is against the unbeaten Barcelona. In such a busy schedule, the depth of the squad comes to the fore, and here Betis is clearly inferior.
Barcelona is not talking about any recession. The Catalans not only have great opportunities for rotation, but also demonstrate a truly team game, where an injury to one player does not affect the result in any way. No one has managed to cope with the blue-garnet attack yet, threats can be expected from any player. The match against Galatasaray the day before was significant, where four goals were scored by different players, and Yamal and the injured Rafinha were not among them. In the last two face-to-face matches, Barcelona won by a margin of more than one goal, which we expect from the Catalans today.
Our prediction is that Barcelona will win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) by a factor of 2.00
In eight rounds played, Barcelona scored 34 goals in the Example and is able to single-handedly break through any total, given its powerful attacking potential. At the same time, Betis has no problems scoring goals and is able to distinguish himself.
The second bet is a total of more than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.67
Betting on corners
The attacking style of play and the bet on total dominance on the field lead to the fact that Barcelona confidently wins from match to match on corners, following this indicator on a winning streak of seven matches. We don't see any prerequisites for this series to be interrupted in Seville today.
Prediction – Barcelona wins on corners with a handicap (-2.5) with a coefficient of 2.05
