The total is set at 2.5 goals, with the over sitting at -160. The under is +125. The over could offer value here considering it’s been hit in three of the previous four fixtures between the two.

Real Betis vs Barcelona Preview

Betis is actually enjoying a solid campaign under Manuel Pelligrini. They’re currently occupying fourth place in La Liga and have yet to taste defeat since the World Cup break, playing to a scoreless draw and then capturing a pair of victories in the Copa del Rey and in league action.

On Sunday, Los Verdiblancos ran out with three points at Rayo Vallecano thanks to an eventual Luiz Henrique winner in the 40th minute. This is their first time in the Super Cup since 2005 and it will not be easy considering their underwhelming track record against Barcelona.

Real Betis vs Barcelona La Liga Stats

While Barcelona did fail to get past the group stages in the Champions League, this club is finally back to where it should be in Spain. Xavi’s men are currently top, three points clear of Real Madrid with a 13-2-1 record. Their goal difference is phenomenal, scoring 35 times and conceding just six in 16 outings.

This is a competition that Barca is extremely familiar with, lifting the trophy a record 13 times. However, the Catalans haven’t won it since 2018 and will face a tall task in Madrid if they can get past Betis. Also, Xavi gets leading goal-scorer Robert Lewandowski and Jordi Alba back for Thursday’s encounter, which is huge news. The Pole has netted a league-best 13 goals this term, showing no problems adapting to life in La Liga.

Real Betis vs Barcelona Prediction

Barca is in far too good of form, last losing in late October in the UCL. While I do think the Spanish giants will win here against Betis, there’s a better bet than the moneyline. They’ve conceded four times in the last three games. Take them to win but both teams to score.

Pick: Barcelona to win & both teams to score (+190)
