Real Betis vs Barcelona prediction 06.12.2025 | La Liga

Betis look like a side who are creeping up the ladder. They were seventh two seasons ago, finished sixth last season and are currently fifth after 14 games, which is a testament to Pellegrini’s sure touch.

Los Verdiblancos have lost on four occasions this term, it is true, but each of their four league wins so far have been at the Villamarín and that gives this game a slightly different tint.

Pellegrini’s side go into it in bullish mood following an eight-match unbeaten streak and six wins, with the feeling that anything is now possible.

They also escaped defeat in two of their final three clashes with Barcelona, so getting something here does not sound unreasonable.

Antony returns after sitting out against Sevilla due to suspension, and the visitors are also a clean bill of health – though Nathan is one yellow card away from suspension.

Barça have been trying to stitch things back together after that bruising 3-0 loss to Chelsea in the Champions League barely a week ago.

Flick’s side responded with two 3-1 league wins over Alavés and Atlético, which at least eased some of the noise around the team. Some will point out that both victories came at home, but when you look at their away numbers, the picture is not as gloomy since only Real Madrid have been better travellers this season.

But one win in their past five away matches is the kind of stat captain Raphinha and co don’t want to take with them into Villamarín.

To complicate matters, Dani Olmo is likely to be ruled out after injuring his shoulder against Atlético and will join Fermín López, Marc-André ter Stegen and Ronald Araújo on the list of absentees.
