Real Betis vs Barcelona Betting Tips: BTTS / Over 2.5 Goals
On Sunday in Spain, a high-scoring match is expected as Barcelona, known for their porous defense, face a challenging match against Betis, a team that performs best on their home ground.
Manuel Pellegrini’s team enters this fixture having not lost any of their ten home league games this season. Betis had only one loss, surprisingly against Rangers, with a 3:2 score in their last Europa League group stage match.
The Andalusians, having suffered only one loss in their previous 14 home games, are optimistic about their chances against a Barcelona side known for allowing goals. The Catalans, despite only maintaining two clean sheets in their last 14 matches, are traveling south after securing a 3:1 victory against Unionistas de Salamanca in the Copa Del Rey on Thursday.
While traveling, Xavi’s team has observed BTTS in their last seven games and have only kept one clean sheet in their last ten away games. Furthermore, both teams have scored in six of their last seven away games against Betis. This observation also includes the Catalan giants.
Barcelona has performed well at this venue historically, winning their last seven matches here. This includes a 2-1 victory in the corresponding La Liga fixture from the previous season, nearly 12 months ago.
Given Betis’ impressive home performance and Barca’s struggle to secure clean sheets, Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is a clear choice for Sunday’s La Liga match. Even though El Blaugrana are projected to win, Betis’ performance at Estadio Benito Villamarín should not be overlooked, suggesting another exciting match might be in store.
I´m backing BTTS as my top pick while I also like the chances of this match seeing at least three goals scored.
