Barcelona hosts Betis in round 16 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, December 4th at Camp Nou (Barcelona)
Barcelona under the management of Xavi is very lucky so far. In the previous two rounds, the team did not show anything special but managed to earn six points. Nevertheless, the Blaugranes are still only in 7th position in the standings with 23 points scored. The Champions League zone is five points ahead. Be that as it may, Barça has good statistics at home. In eight matches, the club gained five victories and two draws and suffered one defeat with a goal difference of 16-3. Only Rayo Vallecano performs better at home in the current LaLiga draw. I cannot but note that Barcelona players scored at least two goals against their opponents in the last 11 matches at Camp Nou.

Betis has gained such a good shape that it is really considered a contender for a place in the TOP-4 at the moment. In the last seven matches, the Green-Whites gained five victories and suffered two defeats. It is noteworthy that four out of five victorious games ended with clean sheets. Now Manuel Pellegrini's men are on the 5th line in the standings with 27 points in their assets, lagging only one point behind the Champions League zone. With regards to how the Andalusians perform on foreign pitches: in the last seven away matches, they gained four victories and one draw and suffered only two losses. Four previous away games ended with “Both teams to score — no.”
In the last draw of the Spanish championship, Barcelona turned out to be stronger than Betis twice (5-2 and 2-3). Seven previous head-to-head matches ended with Over 4.5 goals scored. Ten of the 11 previous head-to-head matches at Camp Nou ended with victories for the hosts. Despite all the problems, Barcelona remains a strong team that must always be reckoned with. Now the Catalans will play at home, where they have very solid performance even in the current season. Xavi's men need to get to the TOP-4, and they have to win now. But it won't be easy to do it, given Betis's excellent shape. The class of the visitors is lower, but they are one point away from the Champions League zone. I am sure the Andalusians are now more motivated than ever before, so I'm looking forward to a real battle with a large number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
