Barcelona - Real Betis betting tips and odds

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Barcelona. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Blaugrana and the fact that Real Betis are given 8.00 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

The last La Liga game was not exactly a walk in the park as some might have expected. Barcelona faced a motivated host and were forced to dig deep in order to overcome a resilient team. In the end, a one-goal margin and important three points is all that counts.

Real Betis’s latest La Liga match ended in disappointment. A draw against Rayo Vallecano doesn’t sound too bad on paper, but we have to remember that top online bookies considered them favourites at odds of 2.05. Besides, it was a home game for them.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Betis are one of the teams in contention for Champions League qualifying spots – or at least they will be if they manage to maintain their current position. If this showdown at Barcelona is of any indication, though, this will not be an easy task.

Barcelona won this matchup decisively last season, securing a solid goal difference. They’re also understandably favourites to win this match, as showcased by the 1.40 home win betting odds.

Betis will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - William Carvalho, Claudio Bravo, Luiz Henrique André Rosa da Silva will all be unable to perform.

This is a solid match for those that like betting on longshots. Our advice is to pick Draw/Home on the Half Time/Full Time market. The probability of winning is not that high if we’re being honest, but it’s the best offer if you’re shooting for betting value.
