Real Betis vs Barcelona prediction

After going 7 matches without a win across all competitions, Real Betis finally shook off that terrible run of form with a solid 1-0 win over relegation candidates Granada as Los Verdiblancos maintained their unbeaten home record in La Liga this season to leapfrog Las Palmas into seventh. They will be looking to extend this fortress they have established in front of their home supporters when they welcome Barcelona to the Estadio Benito Villamarín (Seville) this weekend. Their record against the Catalans is nothing worth writing home about but they will be hoping to flip that script here

Barcelona are still licking their wounds after a humiliating 4-1 defeat by their bitter rivals Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España final. The Catalan giants had no answers for Vinicius Jr who put on an attacking clinic with a fine hatrick as Real avenged last season’s loss in the finals to them. That loss ended a little 5-game unbeaten that Barcelona had started to build up in the wake of criticism of coach Xavi’s tactics and capacity by the sections of their fanbase and La Liga pundits. Xavi will demand a response from his charges here to avert any further criticism coming in his direction

This fixture has been a lopsided affair in recent years. Barcelona have completely dominated this with 9 wins in the last 10 H2H encounters. Although Betis have been a force to reckon with at home, Barcelona have shown their ability to rise to the occasion and we expect them to do so here. We are inclined to go with Barcelona on the Draw No Bet option as our main Real Betis vs Barcelona prediction for this match.

Prediction 3: Over 9.5 Corners

The trajectory is this game is likely to see Barca dominate possession for large spells with Betis happy to sit back and try and hit them on the counters.

As a result of this invitation for Barcelona to attack, we expect them to duly oblige and to go all out attacking.

There will be plenty of goalmouth action on Betis end and this is likely to result in plenty of corners as they desperately try to stave off wave after wave of Barcelona attacks.

4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams have witnessed at least 10 corners. We expect a repeat of the same here and we are therefore backing this game to have at least 10 total corners taken as our final Real Betis vs Barcelona prediction for this match
