La Liga
Betis won the Seville derby 2-0 in the last round and secured fifth place in La Liga. They have not lost in eight consecutive matches across all competitions. They have two losses this season in the league, both at home – against Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid. Now they are hosting Barcelona, against whom they last won at home in La Liga in 2008.
Barcelona aims to maintain its top positionBarcelona returned to the top after some mistakes from Real Madrid. On Tuesday, they held onto first place by defeating Atletico Madrid 3-1 at home. This was yet another high-scoring match for Barcelona, which is on a streak of 17 consecutive matches with over 2.5 goals across all competitions. Clean sheets are a rarity, but Barca compensates for this with more goals scored. They also defeated Celta 4-2 in their last visit in La Liga.
Prediction: Both teams to score: YESThe odds for both teams to score are not high, but this is really my top prediction for the match. Betis is not a weak team and is also capable of scoring at least once against Barcelona, which, in turn, does not stop having high-scoring matches.
