Real Betis team overview
Real Betis had a solid last season, finishing 5th. However, this season, the Andalusian team looks amazing. After the first eight rounds, they are in 3rd place with 19 points - on a level with 2nd-placed Atletico Madrid. Beyond an amazing La Liga campaign, Real Betis also beat two strong sides in the Champions League: Lille and FC Porto. It's been a great start, but now they'll face what may be the hottest team in the world in Barcelona.
After a 3:2 win over FC Porto, coach Manuel Pellegrini spoke to the media. He said it was an intense game against a great team. "What pleased me most was that we didn't panic and, through our style of play, tried to turn the result around," the coach added.
When it comes to injuries, the team should have no new ones, but Junior Firpo and Aitor Ruibal should remain sidelined.

Barcelona team overview
Barcelona are having an amazing season! The Catalan team won all eight La Liga games and both of their Champions League games. But if that ten-game winning streak isn't impressive enough, they won those matches with an average margin of 3.4 goals, which pretty much sums up their domination this season. However, many football pundits suggest that is due to a bit easier schedule. The hardest matches are yet to come, as they face Real Betis, PSG, Real Madrid, Aston Villa, Atletico Madrid, and Villarreal in the next month.
Raphinha has missed the previous two games with a muscle injury and will most likely be out for the Real Betis match. The Brazilian has been amazing this season, scoring 14 goals and assisting three times in eight appearances! However, it seems they are doing well even without him. Some reports suggest that the Brazilian could be ready for the PSG match.
Besides Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, Roony Bardghji, and Frenkie de Jong should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Prediction
Real Betis won the last two games and were amazing offensively, scoring eight goals against good teams - FC Porto and Osasuna. Still, they allowed two goals in both and easily went over the 3.5 goals line.
Barcelona were simply incredible offensively, scoring 4+ goals in seven of ten games, and it is fair to expect another great offensive display, even with Raphinha out. Due to their fantastic offense, they went over the mentioned line in eight out of ten games.
Moreover, both h2h games last season ended with four or more goals, and eight of the past ten also went over that line. Considering all the above, an over 3.5 goals bet seems like the best possible bet for this La Liga tie.
4 Reasons why we should see four or more goals
- Real Betis scored eight goals in the previous two games
- Barcelona scored 4+ goals in seven out of ten games this season
- Barcelona went over 3.4 goals in eight out of ten games this season
- Eight of the past ten h2h games ended with four or more goals
