Will the Catalans continue their winning streak in La Liga?

FC Barcelona are heading for the championship. After a few teething problems in the first half of the season, Hansi Flick’s team found their way back to success in the second half of the season and have recently dominated at will. The Blaugrana have won each of their last nine league games. This winning streak is set to continue against Betis on matchday 30 of La Liga. Our FC Barcelona v Betis Sevilla tip aims to achieve this.

However, the guests will not act as point suppliers. The “Verdi Blancos” have not lost any of their last seven league games and have a record of 6-1-0 in that period. Among other things, they also celebrated a coup against Real. In front of their home crowd, Betis beat the title contenders from Madrid 2-1.

Barcelona – Statistics & current form

The Catalans have not lost a single competitive game since losing to Atlético Madrid last year and are brimming with confidence in the calendar year 2025. Across all competitions, the Blaugrana have had a record of 18-3-0 this year, with FC Barcelona’s offense in particular shining.

Most recently, Barca have won seven in a row. During the week, Hansi Flick’s team secured their place in the 2024/25 Copa del Rey final. After a goalless draw in the semi-final first leg against Atlético Madrid, FC Barcelona went on to win the second leg 1-0 away from home and will now play “El Clásico” against Real Madrid in the final.

Meanwhile, the Catalans are looking to extend their lead in La Liga. With 66 points on the account, Barca leads the table. However, their pursuers Real Madrid are hot on the Blaugrana’s heels. Losing points against Betis Sevilla would be fatal – even with an important Champions League match coming up next week.

Another offensive spectacle at home?

At home, the Catalans have scored a total of 18 goals in their last five competitive games – an average of more than three goals per game. If they can keep up the momentum, it is not out of the question that Betis Sevilla will also fall victim to FCB’s offensive play. The result against a defensively-oriented team like Atlético Madrid during the week should not be overstated.

Before the narrow victory against the Madrilenians, Barca scored 14 goals in four matches. It is quite possible that Barcelona will flex their offensive muscles against Betis Sevilla as well. The two clubs met in the Copa del Rey just under three months ago. Barcelona won that match 5-1 against the “Verblancos”.

For the fourth time in the last five head-to-head encounters, Barca have scored four or more goals in a competitive game against their upcoming opponents from Andalusia. A goal-laden match cannot be ruled out on Saturday evening either. Hansi Flick has to do without at least five players in the squad due to injury.

Betis Sevilla – Statistics & current form

Betis Sevilla have climbed to sixth place in La Liga with an impressive winning streak and have realistic hopes of finishing the season in a European spot. The “Verblancos” have won six league games in a row since their defeat to Celta Vigo, beating a title contender like Real Madrid along the way.

Last week, Betis also won the Andalusian derby against Sevilla. The green-whites beat their city rivals 2-1. It was the third competitive game in a row in which Betis Sevilla scored at least twice. The in-form Andalusian club is also likely to score against Barcelona.

In the last three head-to-heads, bets on “both teams to score” paid off. A betting tip on this is also obvious this time. Bettors who want to venture a prediction on Barcelona vs. Betis Sevilla will find it in the betting apps of the betting providers. The encounter is also available there as a live game with many other betting options.

Will favorites slayer Betis Sevilla strike again?

The “Verdiblancos” are eager for revenge after their bitter defeat in the Cup. However, based on their head-to-head against the Catalans, it is understandable that Betis Sevilla are underdogs in this match despite their recent form. Since December 2021, Betis have not won any of their last eight competitive games against the Catalans.

However, anyone who still wants to place a bet on the guests against Barcelona vs. Betis Sevilla will get odds in the 7.00 range. After the recent defeat in the Copa del Rey – Betis lost the away game in Barcelona 1-5 – bets on it are still risky.

At least head coach Manuel Pellegrini is spared from major personnel concerns. Besides Isco, who is suspended for yellow, only Ez Abde and Roca are expected to miss Saturday’s game in Catalonia. No major changes are expected in the “Verblancos” starting lineup compared to the last one.

Barcelona v Betis Sevilla prediction

Meanwhile, Barcelona is leading the race for the championship. The Catalans are currently brimming with confidence and remain undefeated in this calendar year. In La Liga, Hansi Flick’s team has recently won nine games in a row, climbing to the top of the table. The team is now looking to continue its winning streak against Betis Sevilla.

Just a few months ago, there was already a showdown between the two clubs. FC Barcelona won that match 5-1 at home. A month earlier, Betis Sevilla scored against the Blaugrana in the first leg of La Liga 2024/25. With the victory in the cup, Barca claimed their fifth win in the last six head-to-heads.

We are again tipping the Catalans to win this time and are placing our Barcelona v Betis Sevilla tip at odds of 1.73 for HT/FT: 1/1. We are using five out of ten possible units for our prediction. It is also obvious to bet on a game with a lot of goals. The last eight head-to-heads have seen the three-goal mark surpassed.
