Real Betis vs Barcelona Tips & Preview - Dominant Catalans to consolidate
- Barcelona head to Real Betis after morale boosting midweek win.
- Real Betis, struggling in La Liga, recently claimed a Copa Del Rey victory.
- Barcelona boasts a solid away record and lead the head-to-head matchup.
Real Betis vs Barcelona
After a confidence boosting win in midweek, Barcelona will look to tighten their grip on top of the La Liga table as they travel to Real Betis on Saturday.
Betis have been below their best lately and also tend to struggle in this fixture. Barcelona have impressed on their recent travels and given the form of Raphinha, should have the upper hand here.
Real Betis Form
Real Betis have found things difficult lately and are winless in their last four La Liga matches. They have lost the last two in that run and were beaten 2-0 by Real Sociedad in their previous fixture.
Manuel Pellegrini did secure a win in midweek, beating lower league side Sant Andreu 2-1 in the Copa Del Rey. They will look to use that as a springboard to get their season back on track.
It is not all doom and gloom for Real Betis as they do some good work at home. However, they are a bit erratic, with just three wins in the last five La Liga matches in front of their fans.
Barcelona Form
After stumbling in the last few games Barcelona returned to winning ways in midweek. They eased to an emphatic 5-1 La Liga victory over Mallorca with Raphinha netting a brace.
An extra bonus for Barcelona was Real Madrid’s defeat at Athletic Bilbao which eased some of the pressure at the top. Hansi Flick’s team are now four points clear, although they have played one more game than the champions.
The result at Mallorca is part of a solid away record for Barcelona, who are unbeaten in five of their last six matches on the road, claiming four wins in that run. The Catalans have also scored in three of their last four away matches across all competitions.
Head to Head
It is mostly one-sided in this fixture with Barcelona winning five of their last six matches against Real Betis. The Catalans claimed a 4-2 victory in the clash at the Estadio Benito Villamarin back in January.
Verdict
Barcelona will head to Real Betis in confident mood and given their record in this fixture, should pick up all three points.
With Raphinha having a prolific season, goals have not been a problem for Barcelona so far. They often score in both halves and this fixture should follow a similar pattern.
