Real Betis Look Capable Of Covering The Handicap
Real Betis sit third after eight league games and have collected three wins plus a draw in their last four outings. They concede just 0.5 goals per game at home while Barcelona have shipped 0.8 per game on their travels. The head-to-head record shows three draws in the last ten meetings, and Barcelona have taken seven wins overall. Betis have kept four clean sheets in eight league matches this season, limiting the damage even against strong attacks. Barcelona have scored 4.3 goals per game away but face a Betis side that has avoided defeat by more than one goal in most recent fixtures. The game may unfold as a tight contest where Barcelona press high but Betis stay compact at the back.
