Real Betis vs Barcelona Analysis
Real Betis Preview
The hosts remain in a prominent position in the table, as the Real Betis standings show them sitting seventh after 20 rounds of matches. However, a Champions League push this term looks challenging to see, as they already sit ten points off the pace being set.
But, a victory this weekend could reignite their hopes of a Europa League spot this term. Betis come into the weekend after winning once across their last five matches in the competition. However, their most recent fixture saw them return to winning ways after going four without a victory.
It was a much-needed performance by Real Betis on Saturday, as they dominated from start to finish against a defensive Granada. The winning goal was scored in the closing stages by Isco with just 14 minutes remaining.
However, the La Liga player stats show that they were wasteful in the final third of that match, hitting the target on just six occasions from 25 shots. That will need to be much better against Barcelona this weekend.
Barcelona Preview
The Barcelona results this term currently see them sitting in fourth place in the standings. However, the Spanish side will need to step up their performance levels, as they are sitting just three points clear of Atletico Madrid coming into the upcoming weekend.
Barcelona will need to pick themselves up after a disappointing trip to Saudi Arabia, which saw them suffer a 4-1 loss against Real Madrid in the Super Cup final. But, they could yet make a late charge for the title, as they sit just eight points off the top of the league.
The Spanish side comes into the weekend after winning each of their last two matches in the competition. Their most recent league win was picked up at the start of January, as they landed a 2-1 success against Las Palmas away from home.
The La Liga team stats show that they have been among the most productive in the closing stages of fixtures, and that was evident in that match before the Super Cup, with Ilkay Gundogan netting the winner in the third minute of injury time.
Real Betis vs Barcelona Head to Head
Barcelona have landed victories in their last four league matches against Betis. They have also recorded victories on each of their last six visits to Betis in the league. The most recent home win for Betis in this fixture was in the Copa del Rey in January 2011.
