Betis hosts Barcelona in round 22 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, February 7th at Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla)
Real Betis has recovered from an unsuccessful segment in the championship. Now Pellegrini's charges have risen to the seventh line in the standings. Now Betis is two points behind the European Cup zone, which is the main goal of this team. In the last five rounds, the Green-and-Whites managed to gain three victories (over Huesca, Celta, and Osasuna) and tied twice. The main catalyst for good results is Betis's experienced roster. Pellegrini loves older footballers with a solid career track record. Such performers as Fekir, William Carvalho, Canales, Tello, and Mandi are the current leaders of the team from Seville.

The Catalan grandee occupies second place in the standings and lags 10 points behind the leading Atlético. The Mattress Makers have one match in reserve compared to Messi and company. Ronald Koeman and his charges managed to achieve some progress in the last matches, but the team is still raw for great results. There are too many young and unseasoned players, whose performance is unstable throughout the season. Moreover, the club is seriously affected by the big debts that it constantly has to take into account when conducting transfer activities. The team has a large number of young performers, and everyone sees the future of the Catalan grandee in them (Fati, Pedri, De Jong, Firpo, Araujo, Trincao, Dest, and Puig). Koeman actively uses them in the starting lineup, but they need time to stabilize their performance.
The Catalan grandee gained good momentum in the last matches, which allowed it to move up to second place in the standings. As for the confrontation with Betis, an easy walk for Koeman's charges is not expected, but Messi and company will be the favorites. The Sevillian club is not yet ready to beat the giants of Spanish football.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win
