Real Betis vs Barcelona predictions There is still a long way to go this season, but the La Liga title race has already taken plenty of twists and turns. Rather than a race, it initially looked set to be a procession. Barcelona came flying out of the blocks, winning 11 of their first 12 matches. With Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid enduring much more erratic starts, Barca were able to open up a nine-point lead at the summit of the standings. Then Hansi Flick’s side suddenly suffered a dip in form. A run of three games without a win opened the door to Madrid and Atletico, both of whom picked up at the same time Barcelona started to wobble. After last weekend’s matches, Madrid moved to within two points of first place with a game in hand on their arch-rivals. The bookies made them narrow favourites to claim the title. Then it was their turn to mess up. A day after Barcelona got back on track with a 5-1 demolition of Real Mallorca, Madrid suffered a 2-1 defeat by Athletic Bilbao in midweek. Barca’s lead now stands at four points heading into the weekend, while the bookies have them down as the team to beat once more. Neutrals will hope that Barcelona, Madrid and Atletico can all go the distance. Just five points separate the trio, but the gap will be two points if the two clubs from the capital win their respective games in hand. We could be in store for a thrilling race. Dropping points against Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo and Las Palmas should serve as a wake-up call for Barcelona. There was a sense in those matches that opponents had started to get a handle on how to deal with Flick’s team. Barca will no longer benefit from the element of surprise that worked in their favour early on. That does not mean the Blaugrana cannot go on another winning run, however. Real Betis have been inconsistent this term, while struggling Leganes will visit Catalonia next weekend. Barcelona’s final match before the winter break pits them against Atletico Madrid in a blockbuster clash. For now, though, Flick’s team must ensure they are fully focused on this duel at the Estadio Benito Villamarin. Real Betis vs Barcelona betting tips. 18+ GambleAware.org – Please play responsibly.
