Barcelona take on the visitors Betis in the round 32 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 29th at Camp Nou (Barcelona).
Barcelona are still seem unable to play against truly strong and motivated opponents under Xavi's leadership. In the Champions League, they not only (traditionally, it seems) lost both matches against Bayern Munich, but also only managed to get 1 point against Inter, ultimately failing to advance from the group stage. In the Europa League, their season ended already in the round of 16, when they failed to demonstrate anything significant against Manchester United. Finally, the season was de facto over in April, when the "Cules" lost 0-4 to Real Madrid in a crushing defeat, and failed to make it to the final of the Copa del Rey. On the other hand, "Catalans" have already made this season successful thanks to the fact that there is no serious competition on the domestic arena. Real Madrid, under Xavi's guidance, won the country's Super Cup and after the 2-1 victory in El Clásico in March, they pulled away on an insurmountable distance in La Liga. Hence, the only scoreless draws with "Girona" and "Getafe". However, they did manage to get themselves in tune with Atletico Madrid. But Rayo Vallecano then managed to defeat the status guests from Catalonia.

Betis have been playing under the guidance of Pellegrini since 2020. Manuel worked in Seville quite successfully in any case. He immediately brought the "white-greens" into European competitions and kept them there, even managing to climb to the 5th position at the end of the 2021/2022 season. Moreover, they managed to win the Spanish Cup in the previous cycle. In general, the "Beticos" will remain in the group of leaders now as well. But based on their previous dynamics, they were expected to take the next step. And for them, the goal was to secure a spot in the Champions League, given the crisis in Sevilla, which weakened the competition. However, Manuel Pellegrini's charges do not shine with stability. After a strong start, there was a long and quite unsuccessful period. In February-March, there was another upswing, in the form of a 6-match unbeaten streak. But April turned out to be a failure. They only managed to win against "Espanyol", but lost not only to "Atletico", but also to "Cadiz" and "Osasuna". In the previous round, there was perhaps a key duel with "Real Sociedad". However, it did not change the status quo: it ended in a scoreless draw.
In the last 2 head-to-head matches of La Liga, "Los Culés" have won. However, in the Super Cup, during the winter, there was a draw in the 1st round, and only in the penalty shootout did Javier's team prevail. Blaugrana will undoubtedly be the undisputed favorite at home in the confrontation. However, they are not shining, and the guests from Seville have their own problems. We recommend betting on the fact that the "total goals less than 3.0" will end here.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
