Soccer expert BJ Cunningham breaks down the Real Betis vs Barcelona La Liga match, delivering his best bet and pick.

Real Betis are actually one of the most overrated teams in La Liga, particularly on the defensive end. All of those are the best mark in La Liga, per They currently have a +1.25 xGD per 90 minutes mark in Spain, which is the second best number in Europe’s top five leagues, only short of Manchester City. The biggest stat from that match is Barcelona had a 90.6% build up completion percentage, which goes to show how little resistance Real Betis was applying. The content on this page is for informational purposes only. These two combined for an xThreat of 4.03 in the last meeting, but neither could really turn that into high quality chances, as only 2.23 xG were created. Real Betis are currently sitting in sixth place in the La Liga table, just three points off Atletico Madrid for a spot in the top four. We may be compensated for the links provided on this page. Real Betis are not that type of team. They have been on a roll out of the World Cup break, going unbeaten in eight straight matches. What is even more puzzling about their defense is you would think if they’re not a big pressing team that they would be well-drilled at staying compact and defending their penalty area, but they’re not. We’ll see if they can replicate that type of performance again and get a result.

Barça travel to Seville for a massive match looking to maintain their comfortable lead at the top of the table.

Beating Betis is no guarantee, and depending on the circumstances a point could even be a cause for celebration. But they’ll still bring their A-game to face the mighty Barcelona, and Brazilian winger Luiz Henrique will hope for a repeat of the fantastic performance he had in their Super Cup meeting. Now they meet in the league, and the entertainment is expected to carry over.

Robert Lewandowski is back for Barcelona as the La Liga leaders visit Real Betis in a midweek La Liga showdown in the spotlight as the only Spanish top ...

2 Now Sports 2 What oddsmakers are far more unsure about is how the match will play out in terms of game flow. – However, Robert Lewandowski is back in La Liga play after serving his three match suspension for being sent off after abusing an official. Dembele has a history of hamstring injuries, which is worrying, but this one doesn't appear to be too serious. Real Betis confirmed starting lineup (4-2-3-1): R. Nabil Fekir sat last time out against Getafe, but came off the bench for the final 20 minutes to provide a positive injection and help secure a late victory, and he starts today. With Ousmane Dembele out thanks to a hamstring injury, Xavi has decided to deploy four midfielders and play Robert Lewandowski up top alongside Raphinha. It's a huge moment for Abner, who will be seeing a lot of both Raphinha and Gavi in this match. Manuel Pellegrini nearly pulled off the upset over Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana semifinals two weeks ago, but saw his side defeated in a penalty shootout. With Lewandowski back, the Blaugrana will be salivating, already holding a five-point lead atop the table.

The Catalan giants continue their gallop toward their first La Liga title in four years as they host Sevilla on the 6th of February. Like their opposition, Barcelona managed to gather maximum points in their last match with a narrow 1-0 victory. And Manuel Pelligrini’s side would look to take revenge for their defeat against Barcelona who knocked them out of the Spanish Super Cup on penalties.

As for losverdiblancos, things haven't been going so well. They beat Getafe at the weekend in possibly the most boring game of the season but before that ...

One of the greatest atmospheres in Spain (and Europe) without a doubt. [0-1 win over Girona](https://en.as.com/soccer/girona-vs-barcelona-live-online-scores-stats-and-updates-laliga-202223-n/) and scored the only goal of the game. The ball was ludicrously deflected from a Betis player to Pedri who was behind the defensive line, all on his own. Barcelona start brightly, and Baldé is played down the left from a De Jong pass. A look of sheer incredulity on the striker's face needs to become a meme, ASAP. As is Gavi and all the rest. Pedri catches the ball out of the sky on his foot as though it were a kitten falling out of a window. Borja Iglesias is fouled by Christensen (again) yet the referee fails to blow up for the challenge. Canales does brilliantly to work the ball forward and ride the challenges from Koundé. Betis defend well and clear the ball. He takes a touch, gets the ball out from under his feet and passes it past Rui Silva from close range. Raphinha was excellent today, he was direct, decisive, strong in the press and always looked to make things happen.

The Real Betis fans are in FULL voice, and are extremely audible over the television broadcast. 10th min: Real Betis's first venture into the attacking third takes 10 minutes to arrive, but it's a dangerous one, as Luiz Henrique floats a cross along the face of goal that has to be booted safely out for a corner by the Barcelona defense. 12th min: Aitor Ruibal wins the ball off Sergio Busquets in midfield and springs Borja Iglesias on the break, but he's closed down by three Barcelona defenders at the last possible moment and can't get a shot off. He's threaded through wonderfully by Raphinha who sneaks it right through the legs of William Carvalho, but Pedri opts to try and round the Real Betis goalkeeper, and he's got it taken off him by a decisive goalkeeping move! The ball somehow bobbles right to Pedri off a weird bounce from a 50/50 duel, but his chance is stopped expertly by the Real Betis goalkeeper! The Barcelona midfielder collects in acres of space with his back to goal, and rifles one on frame, but Silva is there to dive down to his left to make the stop with one hand. Real Betis packed it in and tried to play on the break, which earned them one or two decent chances but otherwise ground the game to a halt. Replay shows it was a fantastic slide, as his outstretched toe poked the ball away from the Betis man who ended up in a heap. All the hard work was done by Alex Balde down the left of the penalty area, and he cut a cross along the face of goal for Raphinha at the far post making the run. Luiz Felipe then picks up a yellow card for kicking Pedri in the back of the legs. The Polish striker's 23rd of the season across all competitions, and 14th in the league, as he gives Barcelona all three points. Raphinha, who had struggled to keep the ball all match, cropped up for the opening goal, meeting Alex Balde's cross to put Barcelona in front on 65 minutes.

We preview the La Liga clash between Real Betis and Barcelona, including our pre-match prediction for this huge top-flight clash on Wednesday night in Spain ...

He leads all Barcelona players in passes attempted, successful passes, passes in the opposition half and passes ending in the opposition’s final third. They have won their last five away games against Real Betis in LaLiga and could become the first side to win six or more in a row away from home against the Andalusian team in the competition ever. Struggling for a lack of goals from Raphinha and Dembele and with Robert Lewandowski suspended for the last few games, Pedri has shone. Barcelona are favourites to win the league but a win on Wednesday could help Betis cement their status as top-four contenders. Real Betis boss Manuel Pellegrini has lost 11 of his last 12 games against Barcelona in LaLiga (W1). Henrique’s 2.07 xG is second on the team in LaLiga. This season, they are keeping pace with the top four and have the talent in the squad to do so much more. As the manager of Manchester City, Pellegrini faced Barcelona with Xavi twice and lost both of those games — once all the way back in 2012 and the other in 2018. The last time they failed to win away was October 2022 against Real Madrid. Barcelona had the better chances and beat Betis on xG on the night. Real Betis have won just one of their last seven games against Barcelona, a 1-0 victory at the Camp Nou in December 2021. Barcelona have a chance to put even more Spanish sunlight between themselves and their clásico rivals with a win over Betis on Wednesday night before Madrid play Valencia on Thursday.
