Barcelona take on the visitors Betis at “Camp Nou” in the starting gameweek of the LaLiga of 2017/2018. The match will be played on Sunday, August 20th.
Last season Barcelona occupied the second place in the LaLiga and won the Copa del Rey. This summer the Catalans have appointed Ernesto Valverde Tejedor as the team’s new head-coach instead of Luis Enrique, lost Neymar, however, Gerard Deulofeu, Marlon, Nelson Semedo and the most recent signing Paulinho joined the club. However, “Barca” has already failed the start of the new season having lost 1:3, 0:2 to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. Thus, only confident and spectacular victory in the starting clash of the new season in the LaLiga would cross out the recent failure in “El Classico”.

Betis lost only Dani Ceballos and the team’s head-coach out of last season’s main squad. The team will now be headed by Quique Setien with Victor Camarasa, Sergio Leon, Cristian Tello, Andres Guardado, Zouhair Feddal, Ryad Boudebouz and Javi Garcia having joined the side. In total the club signed nine line-up performers for 26.5 million EUR. It goes without saying that Betis have become stronger, at least the number of their players has increased, however this would not be enough in the forthcoming battle of the first round.
Barcelona will play in face of their supporters, they are mad at themselves for defeats gained in the first encounters of the new season, therefore, one can only feel sorry for Betis because of their fixtures. Quique Setien’s side will be definitely thrashed out by Barcelona in the upcoming head-to-head and is unlikely to escape from a defeat with a handsome margin.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -2.0 Asian handicap.
