Barcelona vs Betis Prediction: Betis is able to beat Barcelona at home for the first time

Saturday's pool of the 32nd round of the Spanish football championship will be completed by the encounter between Barcelona and Betis. This is the central game of the day, as they face the league leader and 99% future champion against the struggling side for a place in the Champions League competitions.

After losing to Real Madrid and being relegated from the Spanish Cup, Barcelona has played four games in La Liga, winning only one against Atletico at the Camp Nou. The other three were draws against Girona and Getafe and an away defeat to Rayo Vallecano 1:2. The Catalans are far from peak form at the moment, but this does not affect the team's league position, only delaying the moment of winning the La Liga title. The fact is that Real Madrid, realizing their fate in La Liga, has been focusing on the Champions League and the Spanish Cup for some time now. Before Matchday 32, Barcelona is 11 points ahead of the Whites. Barcelona has the best home statistics in the division, +12=3-0, 28:2 goal difference.

The Sevilla side's current form is no better than the Catalans. In their last five La Liga games, Betis has won once, with three defeats and a draw against Real Sociedad in the previous round. With such statistics, claiming a place in the Champions League competitions is extremely difficult. The Southerners have fallen to sixth place, losing to fifth-placed Villarreal, who beat Espanyol in the last round. They are six points behind Real Sociedad in the Champions League competitions. There is a chance for Betis to catch up with the Basques and surpass the Castellonians, but honestly, I don't believe that the Southerners can make the final run. So, before the start of Matchday 32, Betis is in sixth position with 49 points. Betis has the seventh-best away statistics in the division, +6=3-6, 17:18 goal difference.

Barcelona cannot be called a bottom team, but the Catalans are often unproductive, and neither are Betis, far from their best form. In the last three games, FC Barcelona and Betis have exchanged goals, but TO (3.5) in the main time in this confrontation has not been reached in the lastfour4 games. We believe the relatively low-scoring performance between the Barça and the Cucumbers will continue. As for the outcome, we doubt that Betis can afford to beat Barcelona at home for the first time in the league, and they are unlikely to be able to take points away from the Catalans either.
