Barcelona take on the visitors Betis in the round 30 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 5th at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys (Barcelona).
Barcelona once again finished last season without any silverware, which ultimately cost Xavi his job — despite all his merits, especially as a club legend. His replacement, Hansi Flick, received only Dani Olmo as a reinforcement but has managed to deliver significantly more convincing results. The first trophy under his leadership has already arrived — they won the Supercopa de España, beating both Athletic Club and Real Madrid. But that was only the warm-up, with the season-defining fixtures still ahead. This week, they played the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal against Atlético — after a dramatic 4-4 draw at home, they won narrowly in Madrid with a single goal. The Champions League quarterfinal kicks off next midweek, demanding even more from an already stretched squad. Despite the heavy schedule, Barcelona have gone unbeaten in their last eight domestic matches, showing both depth and resilience. Their recent 3-0 victory over Girona proved how effectively they can rotate and still dominate strong opponents.

Betis have finally shown improvement. Los Verdiblancos made solid progress under Manuel Pellegrini. But following their 2022 Copa del Rey triumph and a fifth-place league finish that spring, the club went into a slow but steady decline. Last season, it was only Villarreal’s inconsistency that allowed them to sneak into 7th and secure a European spot again. This campaign started just as shakily, but a strong winter transfer window, including the arrival of Antony and the return of Lo Celso, sparked a much-needed resurgence. The team now looks confident in the Europa Conference League, where they are considered one of the main contenders — they play the first leg of the quarterfinal on Thursday. A string of recent wins in La Liga has propelled them back into the fight for a top-five finish alongside Villarreal. They also claimed a morale-boosting 2-1 win in the Seville derby, underlining their growing form and momentum.
Late last year, the Beticos managed an entertaining draw with the Catalan giants, breaking a run of defeats. But they were then hammered 5-1 in the Copa del Rey. Flick’s side are in excellent form, and Betis’ momentum likely won’t be enough to withstand the pressure. Back Barcelona to win with a -1.5 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -1.5 handicap.
