Betis – Barcelona Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (29.01.2017)

Win Barcelona Asian Handicap -1.5

Match corresponding to day 20 of LaLiga Santander where they will play Betis and Barcelona.

On the local side:

– The Andalusian set occupies the 13th position of the league with 22 points. His current balance is 6 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses with 20 goals in favor and 30 against. The main goal of the béticos is the permanence and for the moment they are doing quite well because they are 9 points above the Sporting de Gijón, the first team that today would fall to the League 123. European posts no longer I speak because it is something that they are not going to achieve and they do not have equipment for it either.

– They reach this meeting with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their last 5 league games. Last week they drew 0-0 against Sporting in a game that should be an Andalusian victory as the Gijón came to Benito Villamarín with new coach and with very little time to build a team to score and in the end they did.

– At home is not a team that stands out a lot but is not one of the worst. In a hypothetical classification of premises they would occupy the 12th place where they have won 4 games, they have drawn 4 and they have only lost 2, scoring 12 goals and fitting them.

– Their defeats at home have been against Espanyol (0-1) and against Real Madrid (1-6). Of the first 6 only the merengue club has visited Benito Villamarín and won with great force.

On the visitor side:

– The team Barcelona occupy the 3rd position of the league with 41 points, only surpassed by Sevilla and Real Madrid. His current balance is 12 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses where they have scored 51 goals and have 17, being the team’s most goalscorer in the league and the 2nd less thrashing. They are to 1 point of the set directed by Sampaoli and to 2 of the equipment of ZZ although these they have 1 party less due to the suspension of his party vs Valencia by the World-wide of Clubs. Below, to 6 points, is Atletico Madrid.

– They reach this meeting with 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 games played in the domestic competition. In the Copa del Rey they are still alive and last week they won 0-1 in the first leg against Real Sociedad and on Thursday they will play the second leg at the Camp Nou.

– Luis Enrique’s are the best visitors in the league. In their 10 displacements they have obtained 7 victories, 2 ties and 1 defeat where they have scored 28 goals in favor and 10 against. This weekend they achieved a 0-3 in Ipurua before an Eibar that has a team similar to Betis.

– Only against Sevilla (1-2), Athletic (0-1) and Valencia (2-3) have not won by 2 goals or more. Against teams of smaller size than those mentioned above they took the party without much suffering.

– Last year they managed a hard-fought 0-2 victory at Benito Villamarin.

I hope a loose victory of the Catalans that can be twisted due to possible rotations of LE after the return leg of Thursday’s Cup but if they want to reduce points to Real Madrid and Sevilla they will not have another to win and win all the time . I’m almost certain that if they can get all 3 points this weekend, they will do so with a minimum income of 2 goals.

Good luck.
